How does one ride with the wrong passenger turn an ordinary driver into a Bitcoin entrepreneur in El Salvador? I sat down with Pierre Valiente to find out, and his car rentals, airport transfers, and 14-room Bitcoin Casa guest house in San Salvador all accept Bitcoin, which makes life awkward for every critic who keeps telling me locals don't use it. The passenger was Sandy Wade, headed to the Adopting Bitcoin conference back in 2023. She tried to pay him with a $20 bill he couldn't break, he told her to keep it, and she invited him to the conference instead. Two days later he walked out understanding self custody, cold wallets, and why holding your own keys beats trusting a bank.The backstory alone is worth the listen. Pierre was born in Santa Ana, spent 22 years in Los Angeles, and taught English to special forces at a military camp in Dubai for four years before coming home to open his school near Metrocentro. That entrepreneurial streak is exactly what Bitcoin rewarded once he found it.His transportation business started with a single car after he noticed Bitcoiners landing at the airport with no good way to get around. Today the fleet runs from a Jeep Compass at $45 a day up to a brand new 4x4 at $60 to $65, insurance included, no hidden fees, every rental payable in Bitcoin. Anyone spending less than six months a year in the country should hear our rent-versus-buy conversation before letting a car rot through a wet season, and I speak from moldy experience.Bitcoin Casa is the hospitality side of the equation, a 14-room guest house seven minutes from the historic center that he built with his German partner for Bitcoiners who arrive with two suitcases and a plan. Short-term rentals run $35 a night, monthly stays run $500, and the rooms come with standing desks, Starlink, and a Bitcoin ATM in the lobby for anyone who wants to stack on arrival. He's already scouting Antiguo Cuscatlán and San Benito for location number two.Pierre's take on the adoption question might be the most honest one I've heard from a Salvadoran entrepreneur. Older folks sold their Chivo wallet bitcoin for fiat because nobody taught them what they were holding, and the younger generation grew up watching that mistake, so they want control of their own money. He calls himself part of the first wave, and he's hiring locals so the opportunity stays in the country.

Why do most expats moving to El Salvador pack up and fly home within three years, even after selling everything for their relocation dream of living abroad in Bitcoin country? Jenn Satterfeld ( @jeniarilagringasalvadorena ) has watched it happen over and over, and she says the ones who make it have something the others don't. I've got Jenn back in the studio, and she's the founder of Living Like a Local, one of the first immigration support and relocation companies in El Salvador. Oh, and she became a Salvadoran citizen the day before we recorded this.Jenn's own path started with world schooling her kids through Central America after her divorce, and she landed here before the Bitcoin Law even passed. Like most gringos, she figured Costa Rica was the place, until corruption, an impounded camper van, and four frustrating months sent her back to the one country that felt different. Then the Régimen de Excepción turned El Salvador into one of the safest countries in the world, her YouTube channel blew up overnight, and her subscribers became her first relocation clients.We get into how a lot of early Bitcoiners got themselves into trouble moving overseas, jumping in without due diligence and signing rental contracts they couldn't read in a legal system that works nothing like the one back home. Jenn explains why you can't sue your way out of a bad lease in El Salvador, why the cheapest lawyer ends up costing you more, and why the gringo tax exists but the folks who feel scammed usually just misread the culture. If you've got kids, you'll want to hear why El Salvador schooling comes before house hunting, and why she thinks educational sovereignty is the next wave coming after the Bitcoiners and the Canadians. Her investigation tour even sets off fireworks outside your hotel at midnight on purpose, because you'd better find out now if this country is for you.What I love most is Jenn's heart for community integration. She's watched the expat community wear out its welcome in Panama and Mexico by living in bubbles instead of becoming part of the neighborhood, and she's determined to keep that from happening here. Her service club, Darlo Mejor para El Salvador, connects expat mentors with Salvadoran youth, including an 87 year old Canadian engineer who answered Pres.  @nayibbukele 's call and now speaks to university students about futures they never imagined possible.If this episode made you want to pack your bags, or at least dodge a few lane splitting motorcycles, subscribe to the channel, share it with that friend who won't stop posting about leaving Canada, and tell us in the comments whether you'd survive fireworks outside your window at midnight.—Bitcoin Beach TeamLearn more about Jenn Satterfeld:Website: https://www.livinlikealocal.comYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@jeniarilagringasalvadorenaInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/_jeni_ari_/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@_jeni_ari_FB: facebook.com/LivinLikeALocalSVSupport and follow Bitcoin Beach:X: https://www.twitter.com/BitcoinBeach IG: https://www.instagram.com/bitcoinbeach_sv TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@livefrombitcoinbeach Web: https://www.bitcoinbeach.com STAY AT BITCOIN BEACH: https://www.stayatbitcoinbeach.com/punta-mango-villasBrowse through this quick guide to learn more about the episode:00:00 Intro02:33 What is it like moving to El Salvador as a single mom with kids?04:58 Why are expats leaving Costa Rica for El Salvador?08:43 What does a relocation company in El Salvador actually do?13:56 What legal mistakes do foreigners make when moving to El Salvador?16:57 Should you visit El Salvador before moving there?22:15 Why do most expats move back home after two or three years?24:37 What are the best school options in El Salvador for expat families?28:43 Why are Canadians moving to El Salvador?35:21 How can expats give back and integrate into El Salvador?44:57 Is the gringo tax real or are expats just misreading the culture?46:50 How do you get Salvadoran citizenship as a foreigner? Live From Bitcoin Beach

thing that exposes you.In this episode of The Sovereign Life, Dale Warburton skips the play-by-play of how the hack happened and goes straight to what actually matters: what this means for self custody going forward, and where things go from here — not just for Bitcoiners, but for anyone thinking about taking control of their own money.Dale shares his honest thoughts on whether self custody is still the right call, what ordinary people — not just hardcore Bitcoiners — need to understand before they hold their own keys, and what he thinks changes next, both for the industry and for individuals.If you've ever wondered whether holding your own Bitcoin is worth the risk, or you're just getting started and want to know what "doing it right" actually looks like, this one's for you.THE SOVEREIGN LIFEWebsite: whybitcoinshow.comX / Twitter: https://x.com/Dale21MWant a second set of eyes on your own setup?

"People say 'I believe in vaccines.' Nobody says that about seatbelts." Aaron Siri is the managing partner of Siri & Glimstad and, by most measures, the most consequential vaccine litigator in America. He's the attorney behind the famous nine-hour deposition of Dr. Stanley Plotkin — the man they call the godfather of vaccines — lead counsel for the Informed Consent Action Network (ICAN), a 2025 Senate witness, and a central legal figure in the RFK-era reshaping of federal vaccine policy. His new book is Vaccines, Amen: The Religion of Vaccines — in his words, "a cross-examination in book form." This one steps outside the show's usual lane, and I want to be upfront: this is not medical advice, I'm not a doctor, and everything Aaron argues here is his own case — where it's contested by public-health bodies, treat it as one side of an open debate. What ties it to this show is the question we always ask: how do you know what's real when you're not allowed to check? From there we go deep — how a custody case led to the legendary Plotkin deposition; the Hepatitis B shot Aaron says was licensed on a trial of 147 kids, five days of monitoring, and no control group; the 1986 law he calls "the original sin" that handed vaccine makers liability immunity; the Ford Pinto and what punitive damages actually do; informed consent versus the right to refuse; whether vaccines really stop transmission; and the measles-mortality data he argues almost no one talks about. A conversation about evidence, incentives, and who gets to audit the people in charge. Subscribe so you never miss an episode.

From bizarre local crime waves to headline-making political shakeups, the Canadian Bitcoiners are straying far off the path this week to break down the cultural zeitgeist.On this episode, we investigate the inexplicable wave of AC units being stolen right off buildings in Atlanta, unpack Conservative MP Larry Brock's sudden resignation and what it means for the caucus, and look at the conversation around Indian gangs making headlines in Canada. Plus, we dive into the debate over Indian folk dancing as a high school credit course, settle the ultimate suburban rivalry of Hamilton Man vs. Brampton Man, track Carney's travels, and tackle whatever else crossed our feeds this week.

It's been an absolute whirlwind in the Bitcoin ecosystem, and the Canadian Bitcoiners are here to make sense of the noise.On this episode, we unpack the widening fallout from the Coldcard vulnerability, dive deep into the contentious BIP-110 proposal and the looming threat of a chain split, and break down why infrastructure providers like Boltz and Zeus had to take services offline following a wave of AI-assisted attacks. Plus, BTCPay Server urges users to upgrade, corporate treasuries like MSTR and MARA make moves on their Bitcoin stacks, and we share our thoughts on what all of this means for the future of self-custody and network security.

Would you sell everything and move to El Salvador, or is that just a Bitcoin fantasy? The founders of Build in El Salvador (@BuildInES) reveal why Bitcoin expats thrive or quit. In this episode, Mike Peterson sits down with Michael Ruiz and Luis Esparragoza, whose community helps startup founders and Bitcoiners relocate, connect, and build businesses in one of the most talked-about emerging markets in the world. Plenty of Bitcoiners arrive full of excitement, and some pack up and leave within months. This conversation digs into why, and what separates the ones who stay.The episode opens with a story most people only saw from the outside. Michael's former business partner at Sovereignty Studios gave up everything to move to El Salvador, hit a wall, and left with a viral rant so heated that President @nayibbukele himself responded. Michael shares what really happened behind that public exit, why he calls it a genuine loss of talent for the country, and how watching a friend rage quit shaped everything he built afterward.That "everything" became Build in El Salvador, which started as a humble Substack where Michael and Luis interviewed local entrepreneurs, including one who changed his name to Papusa, bought a million dollar passport, and now farms avocados in Santa Ana. The writing grew into a community of over 100 entrepreneurs connected through masterminds, roundtables, and a WhatsApp group, a business networking layer for the whole expat scene. When one member sliced his eye with a saw, the local community had a trusted doctor recommendation in his hands within a minute. That kind of support is what keeps talent in the country when things get hard.Michael and Luis are also brutally honest about who should stay home. El Salvador has huge first mover advantages, and it also has rough edges, language barriers, and antiquated systems that will break you if you arrive expecting Dubai. Thriving there takes a specific entrepreneur mindset: a low time preference, a willingness to build through discomfort, and the humility to ask a community for help. If your plan is margaritas on the beach while the opportunity finds you, this episode will probably talk you out of the move, and that might be the most valuable thing it does.The conversation closes with two developments worth knowing about. El Salvador residency rules changed in 2026, and temporary residents now need only 90 days per year in the country instead of nine months, a huge shift for podcasters, founders, and anyone who travels for work. And the guests recap the SovAI Summit, where about 25 Build in El Salvador members attended and Michael interviewed speakers at the National Palace as the country positions itself as a first mover in sovereign AI.If this episode helped you, subscribe, share it with a friend who keeps threatening to move, and tell us in the comments: would you get on the one-way ticket?—Bitcoin Beach TeamLearn more about Build in El Salvador:Website: https://buildinelsalvador.comTwitter/X: https://x.com/BuildInESYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@BuildinelsalvadorSubstack: https://buildinelsalvador.substack.comSkool community (free): https://www.skool.com/build-in-el-salvador-2170/aboutSupport and follow Bitcoin Beach:X: https://www.twitter.com/BitcoinBeach IG: https://www.instagram.com/bitcoinbeach_sv TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@livefrombitcoinbeach Web: https://www.bitcoinbeach.com STAY AT BITCOIN BEACH: https://www.stayatbitcoinbeach.com/punta-mango-villasBrowse through this quick guide to learn more about the episode:00:00 Intro01:21 What happened to Sovereignty Studios in El Salvador?03:38 Why do Bitcoiners leave El Salvador and did Bukele really respond to that viral rant?08:01 Should I move to El Salvador or is it overhyped?09:20 What is Build in El Salvador and how do I join the community?14:00 What is it like moving to El Salvador as a Latin American Bitcoiner?17:16 How do Bitcoin entrepreneurs find their tribe in El Salvador?22:19 How does the expat community in El Salvador help when things go wrong?27:07 What changed about El Salvador residency rules in 2026?33:53 What happened at the SovAI Summit at the National Palace? Live From Bitcoin Beach

"We need Bitcoiners to fight for Bitcoin. If no one fights for Bitcoin, Bitcoin will very soon be dead." Hodlonaut is a Bitcoin citizen journalist, the founder of the Citadel21 zine, the man behind the 2019 Lightning Torch, and the person who told the simple truth about Craig Wright and then stood in the fire for five years over it. Most recently he is the author of the Capture series, a deep investigation into how informal power over Bitcoin Core was assembled, exercised, and defended. We recorded this on August 2, 2026, in the middle of the ColdCard fallout, and the grief of that moment runs underneath the whole conversation. From there we go all the way back: how he found Bitcoin in 2013, the Pirate Bay ethos, Citadel21, and the birth of Hodlonaut and the Space Cat. We get into the Lightning Torch as a three-month experiment in trust, the Craig Wright war and how stoicism carried him through it, and then the heart of it: the Capture series, the "priesthood" narrative around Core, the OP_RETURN uncap, the DEI and "extractive" playbook used to shut down criticism, why every line of code must serve monetary sovereignty, and his return to fully supporting BIP-110. This is a conversation about the human layer of Bitcoin, and why we have to fight for it. Subscribe so you never miss an episode.

Coldcard vulnerability explained: $89 million in Bitcoin gone in four days — the thief never touched a device.Full show notes & past episodes → https://canadianbitcoiners.comCoinkite is a Toronto company. The Coldcard is the Bitcoin hardware wallet serious self-custody people trust. On July 30th an attacker swept 1,082 BTC out of 1,196 addresses in 41 minutes, then kept going. Block's engineers found the cause: one mis-written line in Coinkite's own library meant Coldcards had been generating seeds from a predictable number generator instead of the hardware chip. Since March 2021. Nineteen hundred and sixty-one days.Nobody was hacked. No device opened, no server breached, no malware installed. The keys were calculated offline from public data, and the blockchain checked which guesses had money on them. If you rolled 50 or more fair, private dice rolls setting your Coldcard up, Coinkite says that seed isn't at risk from this bug.

Dice rolls are now confirmed safe. Portland HODL published a full verification, independently cross-checked by James O'Beirne, Block's engineering team and Rob Hamilton: the Coldcard did use dice entropy rather than falling back to the pseudo-random generator. Fifty or more rolls was sufficient. Still rotate anyway. The prevailing view on the show was that dice-generated seeds are safe but worth rotating as hygiene. Separately, no other hardware wallet firmware vulnerability has surfaced yet from the red-team sweep. The red team is scaling. Rob Hamilton's group, now joined by other Bitcoin developers, is pointing Kimi K3 and other frontier models at repos across the ecosystem. Critical vulnerabilities have been found and responsibly disclosed, none in hardware wallets so far. Cory rejects the "always more to learn" framing. He argued that line doesn't apply here: the entire point of code securing assets is that there can be no mistakes that put those assets at risk. He gave two press interviews on the exploit. The custody spectrum, with a chart in the nest. Cory laid out five positions: solo self-custody, guided self-custody via Swan Sovereign at $25 a month, collaborative multisig, delegated custody with OCC-chartered custodians, and multi-institutional custody, which Swan has been building since December. The real gap is knowing how to use your wallet. Alec, who spent the weekend on client calls, found people holding large amounts in setups they could not operate. Getting Bitcoin off an exchange is not enough. Practice moving it more than once. Jason on the false binary. People have been taught there is one right way to hold Bitcoin, and that it's the most esoteric one. His question: what is self-custody worth if you cannot move your coins in an emergency? Zach Herbert of Foundation. Self-custody is not dead, and he framed this as negligence by a single vendor rather than an indictment of every maker. His takeaway is free and open source software, shared libraries and engagement with auditors. He calls it the worst event for committed Bitcoiners since Mt. Gox. Boltz went dark. The Lightning swap provider shut down entirely, hit by automated attacks faster than a small team could patch, taking swaps in Zeus, Aqua and Blockstream's app with it. No user funds lost. Brady drew the line from Kimi K3's release through Coldcard to this. The AI incentive argument. Phillip's case: calls to regulate AI harder are moat-building, not safety, and defenders keep having to reach for open-weight models because the US frontier models refuse legitimate security work. Steve noted five figures a day in tokens is not a sustainable audit model.

Coldcard vulnerability explained: $89 million in Bitcoin gone in four days — the thief never touched a device.Full show notes & past episodes → https://canadianbitcoiners.comCoinkite is a Toronto company. The Coldcard is the Bitcoin hardware wallet serious self-custody people trust. On July 30th an attacker swept 1,082 BTC out of 1,196 addresses in 41 minutes, then kept going. Block's engineers found the cause: one mis-written line in Coinkite's own library meant Coldcards had been generating seeds from a predictable number generator instead of the hardware chip. Since March 2021. Nineteen hundred and sixty-one days.Nobody was hacked. No device opened, no server breached, no malware installed. The keys were calculated offline from public data, and the blockchain checked which guesses had money on them. If you rolled 50 or more fair, private dice rolls setting your Coldcard up, Coinkite says that seed isn't at risk from this bug.

The Coldcard wallet exploit has already resulted in the theft of more than $100 million in Bitcoin, but new details are raising even more questions. From the code changes that introduced the vulnerability to unusual on chain behavior and suspicious timing, we examine what is known, what remains unanswered, and why Bitcoiners should focus on evidence over speculation.SPONSORS✅ Ledn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nmj1gs2i.com/9W598/9B9DM/?source_id=podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Simply Bitcoin clients get 0.25% off their first loanNeed liquidity without selling your Bitcoin?

One of the biggest security incidents in Bitcoin history has shaken confidence in self custody after vulnerable Coldcard-generated wallets were drained on chain. This episode explains what happened, who may be affected, what users should do immediately, and why this isn't the end of self custody but the beginning of a higher security standard for every Bitcoiner.SPONSORS:

Would you trust Bitcoin and a Lightning Network digital wallet to rebuild your life in El Salvador after COVID destroyed your business and the banks turned away? Kevin Ayala (@KevinAyala24) did, and that choice runs through his whole story. He grew up training as a violinist in El Salvador's national orchestra, and he first heard about Bitcoin in 2009 from a high school teacher. He didn't have a credit card or access to an exchange, so he walked away from it more than once over the next decade, a reminder of how much friction used to stand between a person and true self-custody.Then COVID hit. Kevin had just opened a computer and phone repair shop backed by a $30,000 family bank loan, and the lockdown shut it down within three months. He talks openly about carrying that debt with no income coming in, and about his parents refusing to make him feel guilty for it. The traditional financial system had given him a loan, but no way to keep earning against it once the doors closed.Bitcoin is what got him back on his feet, and it happened outside the banking system entirely. Kevin started earning small amounts through freelance design and repair work, paid directly over the Lightning Network. He found the Bitcoin Beach Wallet, ran his own Lightning node, and built a habit of stacking sats one gig at a time in El Zonte, the town where this circular economy took root before most of the world had heard of it. A digital wallet with no bank attached became his entire income, and a crash course in financial literacy along the way.From there, Kevin gets into teaching at the House of Bitcoin, co-founding Asobitcoin, and joining 40 Acres, an OTC desk for businesses named after a broken 19th century government promise. The 40 acres and a mule were taken back from the people who earned them. Bitcoin can't be taken back the same way. He talks about financial literacy spreading through El Zonte neighbor to neighbor, and how that kind of grassroots community building is the actual mechanism behind a working circular Bitcoin economy.The episode closes with Kevin's current role as CEO of Blink Wallet for El Salvador, and this is where it gets uncomfortable for anyone who assumes legal tender status solved everything. He explains why Blink got debanked, what Stablesats actually is under the hood, and why regulators keep confusing sound tech innovation built on Bitcoin with the kind of risk they're used to policing. Kevin's stacking, building, and helping the next person do the same in a country where the banks still haven't caught up to the law.

There is a massive miscommunication tearing Bitcoiners apart right now. Instead of arguing over specific code like BIP 110, I want to ask a much harder question in this solo take: Is it actually censorship to address spam? I'll explain why prioritizing financial transactions over JPEGs isn't authoritarianism, and why claiming it is destroys our ability to protect the network. We built a protocol for decentralized money, not unlimited file storage. Let's talk about what real censorship actually means.

Mentor Sessions Ep. 085: Dr. Peter McCullough explains Fauci's diary, COVID-19 lab origins, mRNA vaccine safety, spike protein persistence, and the biopharma complex.600,000 Americans may have died from COVID vaccine complications — more than the virus itself, according to Dr. Peter McCullough — and Fauci just pleaded the Fifth on all of it. This conversation breaks down what the diary revealed, why the lab origin was buried, and where the mRNA platform goes next.Dr. Peter A. McCullough joins BTC Sessions to walk through Fauci's Senate Testimony, 1,100-page diary, the public-vs-private mask and lockdown contradictions, and the nearly million-dollar cash prize Fauci's staff engineered for him. You'll learn why McCullough believes SARS-CoV-2 is an engineered bioweapon, how his foundation found full-length spike protein and mRNA circulating three and a half years after injection, and what that means for the surge in 'turbo cancer.' You'll see the money trail through the biopharmaceutical complex — Gates, BioNTech, CEPI, Event 201, and the captured medical journals that refused to retract the fraudulent 'natural origins' paper. He also lays out the parallel research and wellness system he's building outside captured academia.⏱️ Timestamps:0:00 - Intro0:30 - Fauci Senate Testimony and Diary Release1:30 - 600,000 Vaccine Deaths Compared to COVID2:30 - Fauci's Private Knowledge on Masks and Fatality Rate4:00 - Fauci Staff Engineered Cash Prize Applications7:00 - Fauci's Personal Vaccine Blood Clot Injury8:00 - Ongoing Booster Push and Seventh Dose Campaign11:30 - Journals Suppressed Lab Leak Despite Private Admissions15:30 - Why Wet Market Origin Theory Persists16:00 - Bioweapons Treaty and SARS-CoV-2 Classification18:00 - Laboratory-Engineered Spike Protein Features19:30 - Spike Protein Detected 3.5 Years Post-Vaccination22:30 - Spike Detox Protocol and Treatment Options24:30 - Turbo Cancer Rise and Spike Protein Mechanism26:30 - mRNA Integration into Human Genome Evidence28:00 - Broader mRNA Vaccine Platform Safety Concerns29:30 - Hantavirus Scare and Moderna Vaccine Development31:00 - Anatomy of the Biopharmaceutical Complex34:30 - Gates Foundation Investment in BioNTech38:00 - Journal Advertising and Vaccine Ideology42:30 - Vatican Coin and 300-Year Vaccine Mythology45:00 - Fourth Turning and Parallel Health Systems48:00 - Vindication After Media Attacks on McCullough51:00 - McCullough Foundation Books and Wellness CompanyDr. McCullough references the McCullough Foundation (mcculloughfnd.org), his books 'The Courage to Face COVID-19' and 'Vaccines: Mythology, Ideology, and Reality,' a forthcoming book he says Bitcoiners will love, the Ultimate Spike Detox protocol, and The Wellness Company (twc.health).

And CertiK's numbers on physical attacks against holders, including Canada's own file.Plus Clown World North: a Vancouver council hearing took public comment from Los Angeles, Ottawa waived the reporting requirements on a $12.1 million grant that has produced zero excavations in five years, and Alberta pulled a 2.4-pound goldfish out of a stormwater pond.The Canadian Bitcoiners Podcast - New episodes weekly.X: https://x.com/CanadianBTCPodJoey: https://x.com/joeytweeetsLen: https://x.com/thebtcpricebotSite: https://canadianbitcoiners.com#Bitcoin #BitcoinSecurity #Quantum #Canada

Ever since he first received his first bitcoin in 2013, Joël Valenzuela has been on a quest to use free market electronic cash to pay for everything. Today, he is still unbanked and looking for ways to make instant payments without a bank account. He is best known for working for the DASH cryptocurrency project. But over the years, he's collaborated with plenty of other projects (mostly those related with private payments) and he possesses a wealth of knowledge in terms of adoption, everyday use as money, and user experience. Since Joël practices what he preaches and lives without fiat or banks, he is a bona fide advocate of inconvenience: using ATMs, purchasing gift cards, and trying every workaround that helps him accomplish the mission of never using fiat currencies. 00:00:00 Intro & sponsors: living without banks with Joël Valenzuela 00:02:18 The Vlad Costea handle saga & paying X to keep your name 00:04:20 Where the "Desert Lynx" name actually comes from 00:09:04 Joël's origin story: how Peter Schiff led him to Bitcoin 00:10:16 Growing up on the border & the Mexican peso crisis 00:12:16 First Bitcoin: the Chicago pizza payback of 2013 00:14:27 Silk Road's shutdown & the chaos of the Mt.

Should families in El Zonte, El Salvador who've never owned anything pay their mortgage in Bitcoin, or does charity work better when it's free? New Story bet on the mortgage, and 122 families are about to become homeowners because of it. Mike Peterson sits down with Renato Salazar (@HolaIAmRenato) to talk about the project turning some of the most expensive land in El Salvador into first-time property ownership for families who've been living in shacks and on land they don't own.Renato explains why charging a small mortgage beats giving homes away. Paying every month builds financial education, and once families hit a payment, they start thinking about a motorcycle or a small pupuseria next to the house. The nonprofit has built almost 1,000 homes in El Salvador, and the pattern repeats: homeownership turns new neighbors into a community with its own local economy, and owning land in El Zonte means these families can build generational wealth for the first time.The payment rails are where maxis will lean in. Families scan a QR code from their phone or a K1 Bitcoin ATM and pay using tools built by Salvadoran companies Tianki and Blink, with WhatsApp notifications and a dashboard that shows New Story who's falling behind so they can help. Many of these families are learning to use email for the first time, so the project is driving a digital transformation in a community that started with voice notes.Then the conversation turns to legacy banking in Bitcoin country. A banker told Renato that any company with Bitcoin in its name goes to the blacklist, credit card payments stack up to 12% in fees while the Bitcoin page cost cents to run, and you still can't pay payroll taxes in Bitcoin in the nation that made it legal tender. They close with Stay at Bitcoin Beach, the vacation rentals running on a Bitcoin standard anyway: Punta Mango Villas open seven months and orange-pilling curious guests, plus the new Bitcoin Beach Suites in El Zonte, walking distance from the beach and priced for Bitcoiners who'd rather stack sats than splurge.If this episode made you want to pay a mortgage by scanning a QR code, or at least book a surf trip, subscribe, share it with a friend, and drop a comment. Renato says the tienditas are asking to be paid in Bitcoin now, so the comment section should catch up.—Bitcoin Beach TeamLearn more about Renato Salazar:X: https://x.com/HolaIAmRenatoX: https://x.com/NewStoryHomesWeb: https://www.newstoryhomes.org/Support and follow Bitcoin Beach:X: https://www.twitter.com/BitcoinBeach IG: https://www.instagram.com/bitcoinbeach_sv TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@livefrombitcoinbeach Web: https://www.bitcoinbeach.com STAY AT BITCOIN BEACH: https://www.stayatbitcoinbeach.com/punta-mango-villasBrowse through this quick guide to learn more about the episode:00:00 Intro00:57 How did Renato Salazar help launch Strike in El Salvador?03:55 Can you actually build affordable housing on a Bitcoin standard?06:12 How do families pay a mortgage over Lightning with a QR code?09:11 What does a Bitcoin mortgage dashboard look like in the real world?11:46 Does Bitcoin teach financial sovereignty better than charity handouts?13:30 Is Bitcoin adoption pricing locals out of El Zonte or protecting them?17:06 Who are the first families in the world paying mortgages in Bitcoin?21:16 Why does the legacy banking system blacklist Bitcoin businesses in Bitcoin country?27:49 Why pay 12% to credit card rails when Lightning costs cents?Live From Bitcoin Beach

Lyn Alden warns that BIP 110 is unlikely to curb spam and instead mostly rearranges non-monetary data, raising the risk of a minority fork attempt that could split the Bitcoin chain.Lyn Alden is a leading macro analyst and Bitcoiner who examines how fiscal dominance now overrides traditional monetary policy tools.She breaks down why high debt-to-GDP ratios prevent rate hikes from taming inflation, how broad money supply still expands 5-8 percent annually, the limits of semiconductor and AI valuations, and the structure of a new Bitcoin-backed permanent capital vehicle for acquiring cash-flowing businesses.Timestamps:02:14 — BIP 110 Won't Stop Spam04:56 — Bitcoin Faces August Chain Split Risk12:12 — Bitcoin in Bottom Decile of Cycle15:37 — Nothing Stops This Fiscal Train18:04 — Why Volcker Can't Work Today22:02 — Higher Rates Won't Break the System24:44 — Net Issuance Matters, Not Gross Refi27:34 — Fed Balance Sheet Stays Flattish32:56 — Broad Money Grows Despite Flat Fed36:05 — US Money Supply Growth Hits 5-8%38:51 — Fiscal Dominance: Who Wins the Money?41:50 — Why Semiconductors Print Money45:13 — Software Stocks: Value Trap or Opportunity?47:31 — AI Is the New Dot-Com Bubble52:00 — Orange Juice: Bitcoin-Backed Business Buyer57:57 — Permanent Capital Vehicle, Not a Fund59:39 — Founders Keep Equity Upside After SaleLinks:  X: https://x.com/LynAldenContactWebsite: https://www.lynalden.com/0BIP 110 debate ("motte-and-bailey" critique): https://x.com/LynAldenContact/status/2078599151043162159 Stephan Livera links:Follow me on X: @stephanliveraSubscribe to the podcastSubscribe to Substack

Cafe Bitcoin returns for 50 Days for Bitcoin — Day 1 of 50. Cory Klippsten reboots the daily Cafe Bitcoin show to kick off Swan's 50 Days for Bitcoin campaign: 50 basis point buy fees for 50 days (July 21 to September 8), daily weekday Spaces at 10:00 AM ET, and a return to the education-first roots that built the Bitcoin community on Clubhouse in 2020-2021. In this episode: 50 Days for Bitcoin launch: Swan cuts its buy fee in half to 50 bps for 50 days, the lowest-cost way to buy Bitcoin into self-custody in the US. Over 80% of the Bitcoin ever bought on Swan is in self-custody. "The Battle for Monetary Independence": Cory's new essay, woven around his grandfather's war journal from the USS Yorktown in the Pacific Theater. Political independence was the founders' great work; monetary independence is ours. Read it at swan.com/battle. The Clubhouse origin story: how Cafe Bitcoin started, the invite tree that flooded Clubhouse with thousands of Bitcoiners, how Swan Private and Anchor Watch grew out of those rooms. The freedom backslide: UK under-16 social media ban, the Utah VPN ban, age verification for AI chatbots, EU chat control, and the digital euro. Why the counter to all of it is self-custody. Dollar merchants: how stablecoins turned more than half the industry into dollar salesmen, and why the dollar is not a gateway drug to Bitcoin. Saifedean's cocktail party problem: why socialism is winning arguments right now, and why the answer is opting out of politics entirely and building on Bitcoin. Self-custody, the full stack: free auto-withdrawal with locally derived addresses, Swan Sovereign guided self-custody, Swan Vault collaborative custody, and Swan Safe segregated custody. Community: Pacific Bitcoin memories, BIP-47 paynyms explained, Bobby Burnett's new show for the older generation, the no-BIP-fights house rule, and the Snow Crash reading club pick.

GMoney welcomes Jeff Booth (author of The Price of Tomorrow) back to the show for a conversation that takes direct aim at one accusation Bitcoiners hear constantly: that a deflationary, abundant future is just socialism wearing an orange hat. Booth flips the frame entirely, arguing the real hypocrisy belongs to the folks defending a system that has never actually been a free market. Expect a first-principles breakdown of why deflation is a feature, not a bug, why stablecoins and yield instruments might be less friendly than they look, and why "someone else will fix it" is the most expensive lie you can tell yourself. GMoney also opens with a spirited rant about the BIP-110 soft fork and what he sees as an attack on Bitcoin's high-consensus soul. Equal parts economics lesson and call to take agency, this one rewards anyone tired of the same tired left-versus-right script.

The Cathedral project is a long-term model for regenerative silvopasture, cattle grazing, tree lanes and soil fertility. $ BTC 64,598 Block Height 958,254 Today's guest on the show is Dave Bennett (Nunya Bidness), the host of the Bitcoin And podcast, who joins me to discuss his visionary project, "The Cathedral," a regenerative agriculture system designed for multi-generational land health and sustainability. Key Topics: The core philosophy behind "The Cathedral" project and its roots in Bitcoin's long-term thinking. The mechanics of silvopasture, including integration of livestock, tree crops, and hedgerows. The role of biochar and waste gasification as a "biological computer" for soil health. Economic viability and the revenue-sharing model through leasing and diversified yields. Moving beyond fiat-based monocropping toward regenerative ecosystems that improve over time.

Mentor Sessions Ep. 082: Matt Odell and Matt Hill discuss AI model security risks, self-hosting infrastructure, open source vs frontier models, and Bitcoin's role in digital sovereignty in 2026.AI's most powerful models are being quietly locked away by governments — and the cheap API access you're building your business on is a subsidized trap with an expiration date. Matt Odell and Matt Hill join BTC Sessions to unpack what's really happening at the intersection of AI, open source sovereignty, and Bitcoin freedom tech in 2026.You'll learn why the frontier model subsidy era is ending and who gets wrecked when prices normalize, how Start9 runs an entire company on a $200/month plan (and why that won't last), what Odell thinks about the deepfake phishing attack that nearly fooled Matt Hill live on a Zoom call, and why the open source AI arms race may be humanity's last real shot at digital independence. You'll also see how the Start9 router and self-hosted security camera are the trojan horses that bring sovereignty tech to people who've never heard of Bitcoin.⏱️ Timestamps:0:00 - Intro1:32 - AI model landscape and security risks2:15 - Start9 runs on $200 monthly Claude plan3:16 - AI subsidy trap and future pricing shock4:09 - Local inference versus frontier model tradeoffs7:32 - Odell on open source versus proprietary models9:28 - Why Anthropic and OpenAI withheld top models11:23 - Open source software and why control backfires13:36 - China's open source strategy in AI geopolitics18:47 - AI as intelligence of mass destruction risks21:26 - Regulation landscape in Canada UK and Australia27:01 - Operational security and AI-powered phishing threats27:44 - Deepfake Zoom attack that fooled Odell32:40 - Public key cryptography and verifiable identity39:02 - Signal messenger sovereignty case study43:55 - Do Bitcoiners lead digital sovereignty efforts45:05 - Relentless freedom fighters win revolutions55:42 - Drivers of Start9 adoption beyond Bitcoin nodes57:37 - AI as second reason for sovereign servers59:55 - Start9 sold Bitcoin to stockpile RAM1:06:16 - Start9 router for household sovereignty1:09:13 - Building the freedom router from first principles1:14:44 - AI as new interface replacing GUI era1:20:06 - Odell on open source compounding in Bitcoin1:25:56 - Tools to try PBC Maple Hermes LM Studio• Sovereign Sessions — AI, Privacy, and Bitcoin education: http://youtube.com/@SovereignSessions?sub_confirmation=1

Is El Salvador still Bitcoin country, or did the world move on the moment the IMF deal got signed? Mike sits down with Will Lehr (@thewilliamlehr) from Club Cocal, James (@beefbackbetter) from Beef Back Better, and Ronny Avendano (@ronnyavendano_) from the Bitcoin Hardware Store to talk about the Bitcoin farmers market, El Salvador real estate, self custody, and what life on a Bitcoin standard actually looks like on the ground today.The conversation starts with the Bitcoin farmers market, which just hit its three year anniversary. What began as a small gathering in El Zonte has grown into a real engine of local commerce, connecting Salvadoran vendors, ranchers, and artisans directly with the people buying from them. No intermediaries or faceless supply chain, just a producer, a buyer, and Bitcoin changing hands. The group traces how it moved from El Zonte to its current home at Club Cocal and why it's become the meeting point for Bitcoiners from all over the country.From there the talk shifts to why so many people are choosing to build their lives here in the first place. Will calls it a reverse brain drain, skilled people and capital flowing into El Salvador instead of out of it, drawn by a level of freedom and safety they say they can't find at home anymore. Several guests point to what they see as government overreach elsewhere, unrealized capital gains taxes in the Netherlands, wallet registration requirements in the EU, Bitcoin ATMs disappearing in Canada, as the exact pressure pushing people toward a country that's betting the other direction.That bet shows up clearest in El Salvador real estate. Will walks through what he calls a Bitcoin floor underneath land values here, and makes the case that El Zonte now holds some of the most expensive property per square foot in the entire country. Whether that's a sign of a healthy market or a bubble waiting to pop is left for the viewer to decide, but the group is clear about where they're placing their own money.The episode closes on something bigger than any single topic, the idea that self custody and freedom tech aren't just Bitcoin concepts, they're a full lifestyle. Ronny connects owning your own keys to owning your own food source, your own health, your own decisions, and the group makes the case that El Salvador is quietly becoming a real world test case for hyper-bitcoinization, one farmers market, one hardware store, and one ranch at a time. Drop a comment and tell us if you think El Salvador is still worth the bet. Subscribe if you want more of these conversations, and share it with the friend who keeps asking if the Bitcoin country story is over.—Bitcoin Beach TeamLearn more about the guests:Will Lehr — Club CocalX (personal): x.com/thewilliamlehrX (Club Cocal): x.com/ClubCocalX (Unbound Assets): x.com/UnboundAssetsInstagram: instagram.com/club.cocalWeb: clubcocal.comWeb: unboundassets.comJames — Beef Back Better & Bitcoin Farmer MarketX: x.com/beefbackbetterX: x.com/btcfarmersmrktInstagram: instagram.com/beefbackbettersvInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/bitcoinfarmersmarketWebsite: beefbackbetter.comWebsite: bitcoinfarmersmarket.orgLinktree: linktr.ee/beefbackbetterLinktree: https://linktr.ee/bitcoinfarmersmarketGithub: github.com/sovITxyz/bitcoinfarmersmarket.orgRonny Avendano — Bitcoin Hardware StoreX (personal): x.com/ronnyavendano_X (store): x.com/tbhs_svWeb: tbhs.svSupport and follow Bitcoin Beach:X: https://www.twitter.com/BitcoinBeach IG: https://www.instagram.com/bitcoinbeach_sv TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@livefrombitcoinbeachWeb: https://www.bitcoinbeach.comSTAY AT BITCOIN BEACH: https://www.stayatbitcoinbeach.com/punta-mango-villasBrowse through this quick guide to learn more about the episode:00:00  Intro02:31  History of the Bitcoin farmers market in El Salvador08:26  Club Cocal, Beef Back Better, and Bitcoin Hardware Store, who runs them16:07  What it's like running a Bitcoin only hardware store in El Zonte19:34  How much has El Zonte changed since Bitcoin arrived22:15  Is El Salvador still Bitcoin country after the IMF deal27:38  How food sovereignty connects to Bitcoin's sovereignty philosophy30:53  Carnivore diet results, what actually changes when you go full meat40:38  Is El Salvador real estate in a bubble, or is there a Bitcoin floor50:00  What's next for the Bitcoin farmers market and the Bitcoin Histórico rodeo Live From Bitcoin Beach

What do a brainstem tumor in a charity hospital, a quiet attack unfolding on the Bitcoin blockchain, and the accelerating collapse of Earth's magnetic field have in common? According to Dr. Jack Kruse — neurosurgeon, quantum biology pioneer, and one of the most polarizing voices in both medicine and Bitcoin — they're the same problem, showing up in different domains.In this episode, Dr. Brandon Crawford sits down with Dr. Kruse for a conversation that moves from the laws of thermodynamics through the architecture of the Bitcoin block wars and into one of the most urgent questions in Brandon's own clinic: why is he seeing more autism, dementia, and neurodegeneration in Texas than ever before? Dr. Kruse's answer is not what most clinicians — or most Bitcoiners — are prepared to hear.Follow Dr. Jack Kruse:Website – jackkruse.comInstagram – instagram.com/drjackkruseX – x.com/drjackkruseFacebook – facebook.com/drjackkruseLinkedIn – linkedin.com/in/drjackkruseProducts:528 Innovations LasersNeuroSolution Full Spectrum CBDNeuroSolution Broad Spectrum CBDNeuroSolution StimpodSTEMREGEN®For more information, resources, and podcast episodes, visit tinyurl.com/3ppwdfpm

Quantum computing timelines are shrinking faster than most Bitcoiners realize and the latest Google research just made the attack 20x easier. Shinobi sits down with Ethan Heilman, research fellow at MIT's DCI lab, to separate quantum panic from quantum reality. They cover Q-day timelines, why algorithmic breakthroughs are the scariest threat, and how BIP 360 and post-quantum signatures could protect the network. Grab your copy THE 2036 ISSUE

What if the government used debanking and digital surveillance to silence you? Michael Ballweg (@Michael_Ballweg), founder of Querdenken, rebuilt on a Bitcoin standard in El Salvador and is now fighting for local AI and data sovereignty while Europe tightens its grip on free speech and privacy protection.Michael took a 180-person rally in Stuttgart and grew it into 1.3 million people in Berlin with Robert Kennedy Jr. on stage, all under the banner of free speech and the right to peacefully assemble. The German government responded by sending the Verfassungsschutz, Germany's constitutional protection agency, to monitor him, label him an extremist, and eventually raid his home on fraud charges that prosecutors spent years trying to make stick.What followed was nine months in Stammheim prison, the same facility built for RAF terrorists in the 1970s, with no finalized charge, no bank account, no house, and no company infrastructure left standing. Full debanking meant living on cash and Bitcoin for nearly four years, and that forced experiment turned Michael into one of the most practically tested voices alive on what government overreach actually costs when it targets someone who keeps saying no.After a 44-day trial and a complete acquittal on every meaningful charge, Michael and his wife landed in El Salvador and never looked back. Living on a Bitcoin standard here means a 12-cent transaction that clears in 10 minutes with nobody's permission required, and that experience makes the old banking system feel less like a convenience and more like a leash he's glad to have cut.His focus now sits at the intersection of privacy protection and decentralized technology, watching centralized AI absorb the same power Big Tech used to capture the open internet in the 1990s. He's building with local AI tools that keep data out of corporate servers, using privacy-first devices for his Bitcoin stack, and watching Europe quietly roll out mandatory digital ID while most people are still arguing about whether any of it matters.—Bitcoin Beach TeamLearn more about Michael Ballweg:X: https://x.com/michael_ballwegWeb: https://michael-ballweg.de/en/Web: https://digitaler-aktivist.org/Patreon: https://presse.querdenken-711.de/en/home/Support and follow Bitcoin Beach:X: https://www.twitter.com/BitcoinBeach IG: https://www.instagram.com/bitcoinbeach_sv TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@livefrombitcoinbeachWeb: https://www.bitcoinbeach.com Browse through this quick guide to learn more about the episode:0:00 Intro1:23 Who is Michael Ballweg and what is the Querdenken movement?5:10 Did European governments coordinate COVID protest bans?6:27 How did Querdenken grow to 1.3 million people in Berlin with RFK Jr.?13:18 Why was a German protest organizer arrested for money laundering and fraud?19:41 What happens to your assets when the German government raids your home?26:13 How did Michael Ballweg win acquittal after nine months in Stammheim prison?34:07 Why are Bitcoiners leaving Europe and moving to El Salvador?38:51 How do you live on a Bitcoin standard when banks refuse to open your account?43:47 Is centralized AI the next big censorship threat after social media? Live From Bitcoin Beach

They also cover Lightning gateway economics and why small federations may beat one global Spark.Bitcoiners exploring Lightning, eCash privacy, and circular economies in emerging markets should listen.Key Takeaways:Seven-guardian 5-of-7 multisig on Start9 now runs daily in South Africa with high reliability.Users inside the same federation enjoy true zero-fee eCash transfers.Conduit wallet offers a lighter, payments-focused alternative to Fedi with regional QR support.Migration between federations is smooth with parallel running and user-controlled timing.Fedimint severs the transaction graph for privacy while Liquid hides amounts but retains the graph.Local guardians reduce the “custodial guilt” felt when onboarding users to foreign services.Lightning gateways can become profitable side businesses with only a few hours of monthly work.Geographic spread of guardians improves resilience against local internet or power outages.Onboarding still requires one extra step—joining the federation—after app install.Fedimint is on-chain native, allowing direct receive and send without intermediate swaps.Timestamps:00:00 - Fedimint Goes Live in South Africa01:48 - Magic: Pay Across Africa04:15 - Onboard Users Without Custodial Guilt08:08 - Zero Fees Shock Rural Users11:04 - Liquid vs Fedimint Privacy Showdown13:32 - Many Small Federations Or Global Spark16:09 - Non-Techies Run Bitcoin Guardians Easily18:14 - 5-of-7 Multisig Survives Two Failures20:53 - Fedimint QR Is a 5-of-7 Multisig24:05 - Gateway: Profitable Hobby in Hours/Month31:06 - Trust Locals Over Anonymous Custodians34:55 - Spread Guardians to Survive OutagesLinks: Bitcoin Ekasi: https://bitcoinekasi.orgFedimint: https://fedimint.orgConduit Wallet: https://joschisan.github.io/conduit/SLP651 with Eric & Joschi: https://stephanlivera.com/651Follow Hermann: https://x.com/vryfokkenouFollow Joschi: https://x.com/joschisanbtcStephan Livera links:Follow me on X: @stephanliveraSubscribe to the podcastSubscribe to Substack
