They introduce Lauren and Samuel to discuss how subconscious fears affect them in real-life scenarios, such as academic tests and sports. The first example revolves around Lauren's struggles with math tests at school, where the pace of learning is much faster than what she was used to during homeschooling. Rob identifies that Lauren's past homes weaken her, and her teacher's tendency to move on quickly also negatively impacts her. Rob explains how he uses physical intelligence to feel weaknesses in others and strengthen them by deleting or strengthening weaknesses, which he likens to clearing the cache in a computer. Rob mentions that his energy work might be considered "woo woo", but has gotten real results in his work and his clients. The discussion shifts to Samuel's Aural Migraines, which Rob attributes to a subconscious fear of success. This fear causes Samuel's body to act as a shut-off mechanism when he gets close to achieving his goals. The conversation explores how this manifests in injuries during football and numbness affecting his speech. Lauren chimes in noting that she experiences that Samuel isn't listened to which may play into his feelings. Samuel initially denies it and is hesitant to discuss his emotions, and Rob notes that this discomfort is a sign of the underlying issue. He explains that this fear can stem from generational karma, where past ancestors may have experienced negativity tied to their success, passing down this fear through generations.

Recorded in the middle of Bitcoin Month, this episode brings together Knut Svanholm, Giacomo Zucco, Mike Peterson, and Jethro Toro in El Zonte, El Salvador. They unpack what it feels like to live through Bitcoin Historico at the National Palace San Salvador, Adopting Bitcoin in San Salvador, and the Bitcoin Beach Festival on the coast. From free pupusas and packed plazas to barefoot plebs and kids everywhere, you get a ground-level view of why El Salvador still feels like Bitcoin Country after the El Salvador legal tender law and why so many Bitcoiners keep coming back.The crew shared the story everyone asks about, their surreal invitation to a formal dinner with President Bukele. Giacomo explains how he gifted a bottle of Dictador rum, they talk about Bukele's quick jokes about Libertarian anarchism and public sector jobs, and they explain what was actually discussed about Bitcoin adoption, circular economy experiments, and bottom-up projects like Bitcoin Beach and Bitcoin Berlin. It is not a press release, it is what it felt like for plebs and authors like Knut Svanholm and educators like Giacomo Zucco to suddenly find themselves at a presidential table with Max Keiser & Stacy Herbert and other Bitcoin builders.They also go deep on the work behind the scenes. Mike Peterson shares an update on Bitcoin Beach and the push to launch at least 14 new circular economy projects across El Salvador, plus the new Bitcoin-themed boutique hotel, the Citadel of Hope, and a pickleball court in Punta Mango. Giacomo walks through the three pillars of Plan B Network, global Bitcoin education like Cubo Plus and Node Nation, physical hubs in places such as Lugano, London, and future hubs in San Salvador, and an emerging Bitcoin venture path and startup support. Along the way, they touch on the IMF pressure, how the government stayed committed through bear markets after El Salvador, legal tender went live, and why ideas like Libertarian socialism still get a fair hearing in off-the-record debates.Running through the episode is the culture piece. Knut talks about his books, the Bitcoin Infinity framing, his talks at Bitcoin Historico inside the National Palace San Salvador, and why Adopting Bitcoin feels more like a festival than a standard conference. The group tells the origin story of Satoshi Rokamoto, the improvised Bitcoin rock band that now shows up at events from Mexico to Lugano, often playing long after the sound crew tries to shut things down. If you care about Bitcoin in El Salvador, circular economy models, or just want to know what it is really like on the ground during Bitcoin Month, this conversation will probably make you start checking flights.If you enjoyed this episode, share it with a Bitcoiner who has El Salvador on their list, leave a comment with your favorite story from Bitcoin Month, and hit subscribe so you do not miss the next chapter of Bitcoin Country.-Bitcoin Beach TeamConnect and Learn more about Giacomo, Knut, Jethro:Giacomo ZuccoX: https://x.com/giacomozucco Web: https://www.giacomozucco.com/ Knut SvanholmX: https://x.com/knutsvanholm YT: https://www.youtube.com/@BitcoinInfinityShow Jethro ToroX: https://x.com/JethroToro 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: Live From Bitcoin Beach

Can a 'Bitcoin Treasury' Company help move bitcoin to become a medium of exchange? $ BTC 92,263 Block height 926,291 In this episode of the Once Bitten podcast, Daniel Prince interviews Danny Scott, the founder and CEO of Coin Corner and Chief Bitcoin Officer for B-Hodl, and Dave Boylan, the CFO for both Coin Corner and B-Hodl, about their new Bitcoin treasury company B-Hodl and the state of the Bitcoin market. Danny explains how yield can be generated through holding Bitcoin in lightning channels. When a payment is routed through a Lightning Network node, the node operator can take a small cut, generating yield on the Bitcoin locked in the channel. Dave explains that if a company's market cap is less than the value of the Bitcoin it holds, it could be vulnerable to a takeover. BHODL also have a grant scheme that shares one per cent of their raises to bitcoin projects, which can apply on their website. And find out why their best ever performing tweet involved CMO Molly's feet.

In this episode, I sit down with Jeff Booth inside the National Palace El Salvador to dig into a question a lot of people are asking in private. Is El Salvador still Bitcoin country, or did Bukele get captured by the IMF. Jeff shares how he ended up invited by the President, why he first thought he was being used as a marketing prop, and what actually happened during a long conversation on Bitcoin, freedom money, and what it means for a small country trying to escape a global control system.We walk through the IMF and El Salvador story from Jeff's perspective. He explains why a former failed state turned to Bitcoin to escape fiat money and its hidden taxes, yet still decided to take an IMF loan. Jeff shares Bukele's “rat and cheese” analogy, and why the real goal is Salvadorans holding their own keys, running nodes, and building a circular economy in Bitcoin instead of staying stuck in the old system. He also talks about what he saw on the ground, from gang crackdowns and falling crime, to how the historic center now feels safer and more vibrant, and what that means for tourism in El Salvador.From there, we zoom out into the deeper human side. Jeff explains how understanding Bitcoin forces an existential crisis, especially for wealthy people and NGOs who thought they were helping, while actually reinforcing a broken fiat money system. We get into game theory, why most people will cheat if they think they will not get caught, and why the principled minority who run nodes and hold their own keys matter so much. Jeff lays out a simple way to think about moving your time into the Bitcoin economy, starting with a small percentage, then growing it until your life reflects an honest market instead of a control system built on inflation and debt.We close with why Jeff walked away from a huge Twitter audience to spend his time on Nostr, how he thinks about living in alignment in public, and what he is building with Ego Death Capital. He shares how they use Bitcoin as the hurdle rate, why he believes Bitcoin native startups will massively outperform as the old world gets repriced, and how founders in places like El Salvador can collect more Bitcoin by creating real value for real people.

In der heutigen Folge sprechen Zetti und Martin mit Dennis (d11n), der schon früh bei Einundzwanzig dabei war und einen guten Einblick in die Subkultur der Bitcoiner liefern kann. Mit der Hilfe der Theorie des Soziologen P. Bourdieu erhält man einen umfassendere Eindruck davon, was das Wesen (Habitus) eines Bitcoiners ausmacht und ändert. Dabei rückt vor allem die Betrachtung anderer Kapitalarten als der ökonomischen in den Mittelpunkt.

In this urgent and heartfelt conversation, we sit down with Keonne Rodriguez, cofounder of Samourai Wallet, to unpack his prosecution and five-year federal sentence for building noncustodial Bitcoin privacy software. From the government's shifting theory of “unlicensed money transmission” to conspiracy charges built on out-of-context tweets and slides, Keonne details how a noncustodial wallet was framed as a financial institution, even after FinCEN itself reportedly said it was not. We dig into Whirlpool's design (no custody, blinded coordination), the difference between mixers and CoinJoin, and how broad prosecutorial language threatens developers, node operators, and even miners. Keonne walks us through the pretrial gauntlet, denied motions, the plea calculus that cut risk from 25 years to 5, and why truth often can't reach a jury. He shares practical digital hygiene tips, why open source kept Samourai's work alive (Ashigaru, RoninDojo), and how the community can help by amplifying the petition and supporting families. This episode is a call for builders and Bitcoiners to rally, defend open-source freedom tech, and stand against precedent that endangers everyone who values privacy. Resources and how to help: Sign and share the petition for clemency and support families at billandkeonne.org. If donating, use the non-crypto options listed until the dev's surrender date to avoid any bail-condition issues. Keep learning about CoinJoin, Dojo, and community forks like Ashigaru and advocate for legal defense infrastructure to protect open-source builders going forward.

Mentor Sessions Ep. 040: Bitcoin Privacy Under Attack – Neurosurgeon Exposes Government Conspiracy, Transhumanist Agenda & Economic Reset | Dr. Jack KruseNeurosurgeon Dr. Jack Kruse drops bombshells: Bitcoin privacy under siege from government conspiracy and transhumanist agendas, with the economic reset already underway via CBDCs and MK Ultra mind control tactics. He warns 50% of Bitcoiners have been fooled by cozying up to politicians like Trump (a "false flag"), Michael Saylor's propaganda, and David Bailey's missteps—pushing Bitcoin toward sloppy centralization. From Meyer Lansky's 1969 fiat debasement playbook to Epstein-funded cypherpunks controlling thoughts via Google algorithms, Kruse connects decades of history showing Zionists, Fabians, and bankers reclaiming power. But decentralized health is the key weapon: Blue light, EMFs, and Big Pharma destroy your time (the true asset) on purpose—stealing sovereignty without touching your stack. Learn why toxic maxi Bitcoiners are waking up, how to build citadels in oases like El Salvador, and simple fixes like sunrise exposure to reclaim freedom. This isn't hype—it's the privacy war Bitcoiners must win before extinction events hit Canada, the US, and more.

Mentor Sessions Ep. 039: $8,000 for 15 Minutes – Insurance Denied It Anyway | Bitcoin-Powered Healthcare Revolution with Andy Schoonover (CrowdHealth)Holy shit—$8,000 for a 15-minute ear surgery on his 1-year-old daughter…and insurance denied it as “medically unnecessary.” CrowdHealth CEO Andy Schoonover built the decentralized, Bitcoin-aligned alternative that's already helped 25,000+ people dump insurance, save ~50% on every bill, fund $1M accidents, and stack sats on unused funds every month. In this BTC Sessions interview, Andy exposes the rigged game: insurance companies + hospitals BOTH profit when prices rise (medical loss ratio scam broken down), 250,000 insured families go bankrupt every year, doctors waste 16–18 hrs/week on bureaucracy, fiat healthcare now in death spiral with 18% premium spike in 2026. The Bitcoin fix: Lightning payments, direct-to-doctor cash, game-theory reciprocity (givers always get funded), and Bitcoin circularity coming for the $5.6 trillion market. From Zuckerberg's actual house to “the Silk Road of healthcare” — this is the one that makes you cancel your insurance tomorrow.Chapters:00:00 Teaser – The System Is Completely Busted01:12 Andy's Journey & Zuckerberg's $16k Check03:46 First Healthcare Company & Bureaucracy Wake-Up Call04:47 The $8,000 Daughter Surgery + Insurance Denial Rage05:22 Satoshi Moment – Launching CrowdHealth (2021)08:02 20% Denials & 250,000 Insured Bankruptcies Yearly10:03 Perverse Incentives: Insurance Profits When Prices Rise12:26 CrowdHealth = 50% Savings Via Direct Pay17:18 Forced Insurance States & Paying the Fine Instead20:02 How CrowdHealth Works ($500 + Community Funding)22:21 Canadian Healthcare Nightmare (MAID = 1 in 20 Deaths)25:59 Jimmy Song Orange-Pills Andy – Bitcoin Integration28:10 The $5.6T Bitcoin Circularity Plan31:22 Every American Will Touch Bitcoin Via Healthcare34:09 Hospitals Love Instant BTC Payment (50%+ Discounts)37:35 Stacking Sats + ACA DCA Math39:52 Game-Theory Reciprocity & Common Objections42:11 The $1M Self-Shot Accident Story (6 Holes, 1 Bullet)52:04 2026 Outlook – 18% Premiums & Death SpiralAbout Andy Schoonover:CEO of CrowdHealth – decentralizing healthcare with Bitcoin-aligned crowdfundingX: Andy Schoonover @andyjschoonoverX: CrowdHealth @joinCrowdHealthSite: https://www.joincrowdhealth.comCheck out previous Episodes:Fitness & Bitcoin - Michael Morelli: https://youtu.be/qkzK3ey41tcMarket Update - James Check: https://youtu.be/0a6-hTVwauo
Dr. Jack Kruse explains why he believes El Salvador is the most asymmetric opportunity of our lifetime and why so many serious Bitcoiners are leaving the United States for El Salvador.Drawing on stories like buying a New York City corner in 1890 or the Louisiana Purchase for $12 million, he shows how rare it is to find a moment where land, leadership, and money all line up in your favor. Jack argues that El Salvador under President Bukele feels more like the “fourteenth colony” of real American freedom. He calls out safety myths, describes what life on the ground actually feels like, and gives a direct challenge to listeners who keep delaying action.If you care about where Bitcoin culture is truly taking root, this conversation will push you to rethink where you live and how you plan your future.Watch the FULL EPISODE here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Inspd0gKEsConnect and Learn more about Dr. Jack Kruse:Website: https://jackkruse.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/drjackkruse Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drjackkruse Check out his book at: https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B00J21IRR6/allbooksSupport 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.comLive From Bitcoin Beach

In this conversation, Stephan Livera interviews Gustavo Flores, the CEO and founder of Aureo, a Bitcoin startup in Mexico. They discuss Gustavo's journey in the Bitcoin space, the cultural differences he has observed while building in Mexico, and the unique financial landscape of the country. The conversation delves into the challenges of educating the Mexican population about Bitcoin and the various investment trends that are emerging in the region. Gustavo Flores also discusses the evolution of Aureo, a Bitcoin exchange in Mexico, and its mission to provide a premium, educational experience for investors. He highlights the regulatory landscape in Mexico and El Salvador, the differences between Aureo and crypto casinos, and the growing Bitcoin community in Mexico, including the establishment of La Casa de Satoshi. The conversation also touches on the challenges of raising capital and the importance of adapting to local cultures in the adoption of Bitcoin.Takeaways:
"Bitcoiners have a spirit. I think the spirit is an ancient spirit. It goes back to the American Revolution. It goes back to the Magna Carta. It goes back to ancient Greece. It goes back to Christianity in the early Middle East.This spirit of individual freedom, individual rights, there's something inside of each of us that is divine, that kind of thing.And I think that is the cultural signal that resonates with all of humanity. And I think that's Bitcoin's culture. And I think that if we lose that, then we lose Bitcoin."~ Chris Guida In this episode, I sit down with developer and Bitcoiner Chris Guida for a deep dive into why we argue - and why that's a good thing. We explore the culture of Bitcoin, how real debate can sharpen ideas, and what it means to fight against centralization both in code and in mindset. We go from the philosophy of disagreement to the mechanics of Lightning, ARK, and merchant adoption, to what makes Bitcoin's culture so uniquely worth defending. Chris and I trade takes on covenants, paper Bitcoin, and the eternal battle between centralization and sovereignty. Why does fiat make us irrational? How do we scale not just Bitcoin's tech, but its culture? And what does it really mean to win - culturally, technologically, and philosophically? It's one of those classic long-form chats where we stretch from technical nuance to deep principles - exactly the kind of conversation Bitcoin demands. Check out our awesome sponsors!

On-chain expert James Check from CheckOnChain reveals why 2025 price action defies expectations, with 63% supply cost basis above 95K creating a "top-heavy" plunge risk to 80s—yet silent institutions absorb billions in "bullish selling" for a great rotation slingshot.

Mike Peterson sits down with Christopher Wedick to map out the Reclaiming Health and Longevity Symposium in San Salvador, a two-day meet-up where decentralized health meets decentralized wealth. They talk health sovereignty, community healing, and why El Salvador's mix of safety, affordability, and sunlight makes it a real base for people who want financial self-custody and practical lifestyle medicine. This is the week where Bitcoin pragmatists and wellness builders compare notes in the same room.Christopher shares why he left Canada for El Salvador, how value-aligned community changes daily life, and what “reclaiming health” looks like without pharma as the default.

In this episode of the Once Bitten podcast, Daniel Prince interviews Teruko, a key organizer for BTC Japan and a translator of the Bitcoin Standard, about her work in promoting Bitcoin adoption in Japan, her involvement with Folga Ventures, and ANAP, a Japanese clothing brand integrating Bitcoin into its business model. Key Topics: Bitcoin Standard translation Folga Ventures ANAP business model Bitcoin conferences Tokyo Bitcoin Base Summary: In this episode of the Once Bitten podcast, Daniel Prince interviews Teruko, a key organizer for BTC Japan and a translator of the Bitcoin Standard. Teruko recounts her entry into Bitcoin in 2017, initially driven by a market crash following her purchase, leading her to research and discover the transformative potential of Bitcoin through resources like Vijay Boyapati's "The Bullish Case for Bitcoin" and Saifedean Ammous's "The Bitcoin Standard." Teruko shares the story of translating "The Bitcoin Standard" into Japanese, a task initiated by Wids, who saw the book's potential impact on Japan. Despite lacking prior translation experience, Teruko undertook the project, dedicating significant time daily for six months. She faced challenges in accurately conveying Austrian economics terminology and cross-referencing footnotes with Japanese translations, often requiring visits to Japan's largest library. She also spoke about working with Safeadean, and having to exclude the part about transgenderism from the book, as it would be poorly received in Japanese society. Teruko discusses her work with Folga Ventures Japan, a venture capital firm investing exclusively in Bitcoin projects, with a focus on lightning technology, sidechains, and open-source projects. She highlights the challenge of finding Bitcoin companies in Japan and the importance of education to foster interest in Bitcoin and related businesses. Furthermore, Teruko elaborates on her involvement with ANAP, a Japanese clothing brand aiming to revive its business by integrating Bitcoin into its operations. ANAP is launching a new lifestyle brand inspired by Bitcoin's ethos, with subtle designs intended to pique customer curiosity about Bitcoin. The discussion shifts to the upcoming BTC Japan conference in Tokyo, organized by Teruko, emphasizing its aim to educate and provide hands-on Bitcoin experiences. The conference will feature speakers like Grant from the Bitcoin Policy Institute and Roger from "Will Mao Buy Bitcoin," along with Luke Dash Jr. and possibly Shinobi. Teruko also highlights the development of Tokyo Bitcoin Base, a co-working and co-living space aimed at creating a Bitcoin circular economy in Tokyo, including the acquisition of hotel properties to accommodate Bitcoin enthusiasts. Teruko emphasizes the importance of external influence in Japan's Bitcoin adoption, inviting individuals from Western countries to work at Tokyo Bitcoin Base and inspire local engagement with Bitcoin. She highlights efforts to legitimize Bitcoin within the neighborhood by hosting community-friendly events and educating residents about Bitcoin's potential. The episode concludes with a discussion on the need to approach Bitcoin in a sustainable way, especially in light of current distractions such as Bitcoin treasury companies and loan product offerings. Daniel encourages listeners to stack sats, take self-custody seriously, and draw inspiration from individuals like Teruko who are building and promoting Bitcoin adoption through education, conferences, and community engagement. He also promotes upcoming Bitcoin conferences like BitFest in Manchester and encourages listeners to check out resources and services for stacking sats and taking self-custody.

Mentor Sessions Ep. 037: Michael Morelli on Rock Bottom Addiction Recovery, Building a Bitcoin-Powered Fitness Empire, Parallels to Sound Money & Radical LongevityMichael Morelli's Bitcoin journey mirrors his brutal addiction recovery: from high more than sober for a decade, snorting oxycodone amid bankruptcy and affairs, to a 113-day shred from 25% to 8% body fat—bootstrapping FitScript into a multimillion-dollar data-driven health empire coaching 600+ men with peak biomarkers while stacking BTC as a maxi since 2020. Inspired by Saifedean Ammous' "The Bitcoin Standard," Morelli draws logical parallels between paleo nutrition's ancestral simplicity and Bitcoin's finite, sound money—why it's the only asset that "just seems logical" in a fiat-fueled health and wealth disparity crisis. In this BTC Sessions interview, he busts carnivore myths (labs "fucking wrecked"), unpacks peptides for faster gains, red light therapy hacks, and his no-excuses mantra: if a coke-addicted bankrupt can rebuild to live until 150, stacking sats with low-time preference, Bitcoiners have zero excuses for subpar health.

AI SUMMARY: Summary: Felix from WAVE.space discusses their innovative Visa debit card, WAVE card, which allows users to spend Bitcoin anywhere Visa is accepted. Launched in February as a virtual card, they're working towards a physical card, facing delays due to partnerships with various entities, including banks and Visa/MasterCard. These partnerships are essential as WAVE.space outsources regulatory licenses to focus on product development. A key hurdle is getting card designs approved by Visa and MasterCard, who are cautious about brand association. WAVE.space is transitioning from Visa to MasterCard for better control over card settings within their platform. The card currently supports euros, with plans to expand to other currencies by partnering with entities in different regions, such as Estonia, to handle regulatory aspects. Users can create an account on the WAVE.space web app, complete KYC verification, and deposit Bitcoin to start using the card. Users can also connect self-custodial wallets via NostriWallet Connect to spend Bitcoin directly. WAVE.space aims to enable users to live on a Bitcoin standard, offering an instant swap feature for buying and selling Bitcoin between wallets and bank accounts. This service is facilitated through a partnership with a virtual assets service provider, which is also applying for MiCA licensing. Felix highlights that the company is using other Bitcoin focused companies to leverage themselves off of. The company charges a 1% fee on conversions, whether buying, selling, or spending Bitcoin. Customer feedback reveals unexpected use cases, including Bitcoin beginners using the card to understand Bitcoin better and buying Bitcoin with euros to spend via the card. Some users leverage the platform for reliable and private Bitcoin sales, as WAVE.space issues IBANs in the user's name, ensuring that transfers to their bank accounts appear as internal transfers, avoiding scrutiny from banks. Felix shares a story of someone in the UK struggling to buy a house after selling Bitcoin and recommends people use WAVE.space in Europe to avoid those issues. Felix says the company has a thousand users and is growing 70-80% each month. The company was bootstrapped by three co-founders and then had investment from angels, one of which was one of the first angel investors in Relay. Felix is looking for investors who understand the goals of the company. There are plans for loyalty and rewards programs, potentially integrating with platforms like Satsback, and expanding partnerships with airlines like EasyJet and accommodation providers like Airbnb. Felix shares that the company has a blog post talking about people shorting Bitcoin without realizing it. The WAVE card lowers people's time preference because it causes them to ask the question, "Is this worth 30,000 sats?" Felix recommends people check out the Telegram group, website, and Twitter account for the latest information. He plans to be at Bitcoin Forum in Bavaria and Lugano's Plan B conference. Felix jokes that if he had one orange pill left, he would give it to Christine Lagarde.

Welcome to The Chopping Block — where crypto insiders Haseeb Qureshi, Tom Schmidt, Tarun Chitra, and Robert Leshner chop it up about the latest in crypto. This week, Helius's Mert returns to defend Zcash's ~400% run and the “encrypted Bitcoin” framing, digging into anonymity sets, privacy UX, and why Bitcoiners are so riled up. We then tackle the Tempo bombshell — a ~$500M raise at a ~$5B pre, Stripe/Paradigm ties, Dankrad's move from the EF — alongside Péter Szilágyi's letter on EF culture and compensation: public goods priesthood vs. market incentives. Next up: Mert's “USD Manlet” rethink (why coordinating Solana around one stable is hard, and why pushing USDT to compete with USDC may be the sharper play) plus a gripe-fueled tour of today's DeFi trading UX. Finally, an AWS-outage autopsy: Coinbase downtime, Base sequencer hiccups, Infura/MetaMask ripple effects, and the case for multi-region/multi-cloud redundancy when real money — and sometimes safety — are on the line. And no, despite the memes, Mert is not launching a DEX.
