My guest today is Dr. Alexis Cowan, PhD,, a Princeton-trained molecular biologist specializing in metabolism, mitochondrial function, and circadian biology. We talk about why modern science has drifted into scientism, how mitochondrial dysfunction sits at the root of nearly every chronic disease, and why reclaiming sovereignty over your health is both radical and necessary. We dive deep into light biology, circadian rhythms, sun exposure, quantum biology, and the incentives that shape (and distort) modern medicine. We also explore Alexis' personal health journey, her break from academia, her work with Jack Kruse's ideas, and how Bitcoin, self-custody, and proof-of-work thinking mirror biological truth.→ Please like, comment, share & follow — to help me beat the suppressing big tech algorithms & gov. censorship.

Durante l'ultimo conflitto, tra Israele e Hamas a Gaza, proprio nei giorni in cui veniva siglata una fragile tregua, siamo andati in Israele a incontrare tre donne israeliane. In una guerra in cui l'inizio e la fine sono stati decisi dagli uomini, ci siamo rivolte a tre donne che hanno avuto e continuano ad avere azioni e gesti di pace, senza risparmiare critiche al governo israeliano. A Tel Aviv, a due passi dalla piazza Dizengoff, dove la fontana è un sepolcro di volti di uomini (cfr. foto), donne e bambini uccisi il 7 ottobre, abbiamo incontrato Manuela Dviri, scrittrice e giornalista che nel 1998 ha perso il giovane figlio Yonathan che prestava servizio nell'esercito israeliano. A partire da questo lutto Dviri non ha mai smesso di criticare le azioni guerrafondaie del suo governo. E poi Ketty Bar, un'artista che ha fondato il movimento “Madri contro la violenza”, che conta 10mila donne in Israele e che mette al centro il ruolo delle madri nell'educare i figli alla non violenza. Ogni week end le “Madri contro la violenza” si recano in Cisgiordania per incontrare e sostenere le donne palestinesi. E, infine, proprio nei giorni in cui venivano restituiti gli ostaggi israeliani vivi e i prigionieri palestinesi, nella piazza degli ostaggi di Tel Aviv, abbiamo incontrato Efrat Machikawa, la nipote di una coppia che abitava nel kibbutz Nir Oz, un kibbutz prossimo alla striscia di Gaza, dove il 7 ottobre 2023 , 47 persone sono state uccise e 76 sono state prese in ostaggio. Lo zio di Efrat è stato rilasciato dopo 281 giorni di prigionia mentre la zia è stata uccisa.

In this episode, we sit down with Efrat Fenigson—independent journalist, public speaker, and host of You're the Voice—for a courageous conversation about sovereignty, power, and the systems that shape human behavior. Drawing from her lived experience growing up in Israel, Efrat speaks openly about identity, collective trauma, propaganda, and the psychological cost of questioning state narratives from within. From there, the conversation quickly widens to examine how control operates at a deeper structural level—through money. Efrat breaks down how the modern fiat monetary system erodes human agency and why Bitcoin represents a radically different model rooted in decentralization and personal sovereignty. This is a nuanced, unsanitized dialogue connecting geopolitics, psychology, sound money and a sober yet inspiring look at what it means to reclaim authority over your life in an age of control.Time Stamps(00:00) Episode Teaser (00:22) Opening Conversation (04:29) Guest Introduction & Personal Journey (09:02) Growing Up in Israel (16:51) Peace Activism and Political Realizations (21:06) Complexities of Israeli-Palestinian Relations (38:52) Understanding Sovereignty (47:51) Fraudulent Fiat Economic System (55:03) Fractional Reserve Banking Explained (01:01:08) Bitcoin…The Solution to Fiat's Failures (01:18:56) Bitcoin's Origins and Global Impact (01:23:50) El Salvador's Bitcoin AdoptionGuest Linkshttps://linktr.ee/efenigson Connect with UsJoin our membership Friends of the TruthRise Above The Herd Take the Real AF Test NowDiscover Your Truth Seeker ArchetypeWatch all our episodesConnect with us on TelegramFollow us on InstagramAccess all our links

What if the real trap is not working hard, it is spending your best years building someone else's empire with money you do not even trust?Mike Peterson sits down with Efrat Fenigson (@efenigson) during Bitcoin Historico for a blunt conversation about the fiat system, corporate life, and why “growth for growth's sake” eventually stops making sense. Efrat explains how years of being great at driving revenue for other people pushed her toward a bigger question: who is this all really for?Before Bitcoin, Efrat Fenigson was deep in the tech world, first as a developer in Australia, then rising to executive roles in Israel. She talks about being a woman in tech on male-dominated teams, the early career reality behind the kinds of paths people imagine when they search video game designer job opportunities, and the moment she realized the work was not the same as purpose.Then things get personal. Efrat shares what happened when she spoke out during Covid, how backlash followed, and why free speech became a line she would not cross, even if it cost her socially and professionally. This is the part of the story where “play it safe” stops being advice and starts being a warning.Bitcoin enters through one sharp question that changed everything, “can they touch it?” Efrat Fenigson describes why self-custody, sound money, and censorship resistance felt like freedom tech, not just finance. It is also where her drive for financial independence turns into something broader, a freedom movement mindset built around sovereignty and personal responsibility.Finally, they zoom out to Bitcoin adoption in El Salvador, including Bitcoin Beach in El Zonte and what a real circular economy looks like when it is not just theory. Efrat and Mike Peterson talk about merchants accepting Bitcoin, why even small savings windows can change how people plan their lives, and why on-the-ground reality matters more than headlines.-Bitcoin Beach TeamConnect and Learn more about X: https://x.com/efenigson YT: https://www.youtube.com/@EfratFenigson 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 Browse through this quick guide to learn more about the episode:00:00:00 - Intro: Observing the reality of Bitcoin in El Salvador 00:08:13 - How do you become a global CMO in Israel? 00:09:43 - How can single motherhood and divorce debt push someone to pursue financial independence and retire early? 00:13:58 - Why do high earners quit corporate jobs? 00:17:51 - What happens when you speak out during Covid? 00:21:11 - How did Efrat Fenigson get into Bitcoin?  00:21:47 - Can the government seize Bitcoin?

My guest today is Aaron Murphy, founder of MurphsLife Foundation, a storyteller and builder working across Latin America to turn direct aid into long-term, dignity-first systems. We sit down in El Salvador's National Palace to talk about what happens when you hit rock bottom—and choose responsibility, faith, and service instead of collapse. Murph shares his journey from addiction, debt, panic attacks, and near-death experiences to building villages, farms, and regenerative communities that have already impacted tens of thousands of people. We talk about why life doesn't get easier—you simply choose which kind of “hard” you're willing to live with—and why real sovereignty starts with food, land, shelter, and low time preference. We explore inflation, the fragility of the dollar system, and why Bitcoin matters not as speculation, but as intergenerational infrastructure for families who currently live in survival mode. Murph explains his vision for using Bitcoin to help entire villages escape poverty—not through handouts, but through ownership, education, and long-term incentives. Finally, we go deep into faith, suffering, fasting, and the idea that meaning comes from choosing a mission larger than yourself. → Please like, comment, share & follow — to help me beat the suppressing big tech algorithms & gov. censorship.

Learning Lessons in Tanya chapter 39 we continue connecting to the higher worlds of Beyond-words Understanding into the realm of Bitul, true Essence and Yosef Hatzaddick's realm of higher Source Avodas Hashem. Being Chanukah and letting go by staying in Efrat dwvening by Shirat David, we venture to the Tolna Rebbe in Yerushalyim. All my sons come and together we connect to a true Tzaddick especially in the realms of Torah & Avodah. Cover

We learned 2nd of Chanukah at Shirat David, Efrat about the importance like Yosef Hatzaddick in the Parshos of Vayeishev, Mikeitz & Vayigash, to overcome the desires for money & sleep. Chanukah brings us the power to only add light, new Torah into our hearts as we made space for this special energy to enter. Rebbe Natan of Breslov Likutei Halachos and Rebbe Nachman Ben Faiga gives us the guidance in the second halacha of waking up in the morning… bH we see the Hashgacha Shleima Divine flow guide us from Tours to real Avodas Hashem at home,

My guest today is Zuby, a British-Nigerian rapper, author, podcaster, and public speaker, raised in Saudi Arabia and known for building an independent career outside traditional gatekeepers. We sit down in El Salvador's National Palace to talk about why money doesn't create courage, it only amplifies the character you already have, and why simply telling obvious truths has somehow become “brave” in modern society. Zuby reflects on speaking out during COVID-era, the incentives that keep public figures silent, and how courage is a muscle that either grows through use or atrophies through avoidance. We also explore the monetary crossroads ahead: Bitcoin as self-sovereign digital money vs. CBDCs as programmable control, the coming decentralization of states and culture, and why most people struggle to engage with money at all. Zuby argues that learning Bitcoin is one of the best time-ROIs you can make, and makes the case for a simple first step: get off zero. Finally, we go deeper into faith, the “black pill” trap, and why hope, meaning, and urgency come from remembering we don't live forever.→ Please like, comment, share & follow - to help me beat the suppressing big tech algorithms & gov. censorship.

Es klingt wie ein filmisches Kammerspiel zwischen Jazz und Neuer Musik und ganz viel Drama, meint unsere Jazz-Kritikerin Fanny Opitz. Mit feinen Nuancen, musikalischer Raffinesse und klug gewählten Effekten, entsteht ein atmosphärischer Klang, der der Soundtrack für True Crime-Serien oder Detektivgeschichten sein könnte.

We learn a section from Gedale Fenster from his new Sefer “Surrender” - Reflect don't Project, and the Summary of the Good Point focus of Halacha 1 from Likutei Halachos. 18 points which will list below

My guest today is Lea Petrasova, co-founder and CEO of Vexl, a peer-to-peer bitcoin app that lets people exchange bitcoin privately, without identification (KYC) or any middlemen. Lea is a prominent voice in the European cypherpunk community, dedicated to privacy, digital freedom, and restoring bitcoin's original peer-to-peer design. We discuss why identity-linked bitcoin undermines true self-custody, how tightening cash controls and app-store censorship accelerate financial surveillance, and why Vexl chose to remain open-source and non-profit. Lea explains Vexl's reputation-based trust model, the real risks of “dirty fiat,” and the growing global push toward CBDCs and digital IDs. We also explore how Vexl is evolving into a local marketplace for everything from food to services to hardware, showing how private, person-to-person exchange can quietly rebuild resilient, grassroots economies.→ Please like, comment, share & follow - to help me beat the suppressing big tech algorithms & gov. censorship.

Hi everyone, welcome back to The Chai on Life Podcast! I'm so happy to be back after a postpartum hiatus. Baruch Hashem I am so grateful for the little miracle baby that I now have in my life and so grateful to have had the quality time with him and now so grateful to be able to focus back on the podcast a bit more. Gd willing, I will be doing a full episode on the birth story and some reflections from that, so if that's interesting to you stay tuned. But now, I've been busy working on some interviews with really incredible people and I am so excited to share them.Today's episode is with Shoshana Judelman. I got connected to Shoshana through Midreshet Rachel — she is a teacher there now and has always been passionate about teaching Torah and Jewish History. She holds a Bachelor's in History and a Master's in Jewish History. She made aliyah with her husband and six children to Efrat in 2013. In addition to teaching at MRC, Shoshana teaches Chassidus for the Shirat David Community in Efrat as well as for BeOr Panecha in Elazar. She is a guide in Poland with JRoots and co-leads inspirational trips to Ukraine and around Eretz Yisroel. Shoshana has also been a guide at Yad Vashem since 2014.In this episode, she is sharing so much about her connection to the world of Chassidus, what we can learn from it and how we can connect to Chanukah more deeply through its teachings. She speaks about:-How she got into Chassidus and became a baal teshuva-What the difference is between Chassidus and other perspectives on Torah-How we can interpret the world through the lens of our human soul and Gdly soul which was a really interesting and helpful teaching-What it really means that just a little bit of light can dispel a lot of darkness (with a really great mashal included in that)-How to cope when it feels like the darkness is getting darker, whether in your own personal world or in the world at large-How you can personally connect through the lighting of the Chanukah candles and practically a great tip if you have a busy household and it's hard to focus when your family is lighting together-Her own personal struggle at the moment and how she's dealing with it and becoming closer with Hashem in the process. This was so beautiful I was really getting emotional …and so so much more!To daven for Shoshana, her full name is Shoshana Yonah bat AidelLearn more from Shoshana here.

My guest today is Lorraine Marcel, founder of Bitcoin Dada and its technical arm Dada Devs for women across Africa. She's a financial activist reshaping Africa's fintech landscape by training women across 12 countries in financial literacy, Bitcoin fundamentals, and technical development. We talk about how mobile money like M-Pesa, limited banking access, and cultural barriers around property shape the economic reality for African women, and why Bitcoin in much of Africa is used first for payments and day-to-day survival rather than long-term savings. We also explore the expanding reach of CBDC and VASP regulation, and why women-led projects such as Tando and Dada Devs are critical for building practical, grassroots Bitcoin economies that actually serve people on the ground.► If you got value, please like, comment, share, follow and support my work.

After Hamas terrorists gunned down Rabbi Leo Dee's wife Lucy and two of their daughters, Maia and Rina, during a family outing in the West Bank in April 2023, the tragedy made international headlines. Thousands attended the funerals, where the bereaved rabbi and his three surviving children quickly became public figures. The Dees are officially considered by Israel to be the first victims of the Oct. 7 attacks, despite their murders happening six months before. Rabbi Dee, 53, has since become a sought after speaker and an activist on behalf of other grieving families. So when he announced in June that he was getting remarried, to Aliza Teplitsky, a Canadian formerly of Toronto, the news prompted an outpouring of well wishes. Fans rejoiced that Rabbi Dee had found happiness again, two years after his family was shattered. The new couple had intended to spend two weeks in Canada in July. But Iran had other ideas. Israel's brief war with Tehran broke out just before their trip, forcing it to be postponed until after their high profile marriage, which took place in August in their West Bank community of Efrat. Now though, the newlyweds have arrived in Canada, for what they jokingly refer to as their “workingmoon”, because the private visit also includes meetings and speeches to the Jewish community, and others. The Dees hope to inspire people with his story about how he rebuilt his life, and balances his sorrow with his newfound happiness. It's also why he's written a new book entitled “The Seven Facets of Healing.” On today's episode of The CJN's North Star podcast, Rabbi Leo Dee and Aliza (Teplitsky) Dee join host Ellin Bessner to talk about their self-described rom-com, and about healing, but also to share some harsh criticism of Canada's recent declaration to unilaterally recognize unilateral Palestinian State.

My guest today is Carol Souza, co-founder of Area Bitcoin, one of the largest Bitcoin education platforms in Latin America, reaching hundreds of thousands across Brazil and the Portuguese-speaking world. Her path began not in tech or finance, but as a dentist, where Brazil's inflation, POS payment fees, and daily operational fragilities pushed her to study money and ultimately adopt Bitcoin as a survival tool for her clinic. We discuss Brazil's long history of hyperinflation, savings confiscation, and the deep fiat mindset that still shapes economic life. Carol explains how PIX, open banking, and the proposed Drex CBDC form a sophisticated financial-surveillance architecture, and why she sees Bitcoin as a sovereignty instrument rather than a speculative asset.► If you got value, please like, comment, share, follow and support my work.

My guest today is Jeff G, privacy advocate and builder of censorship-resistant communication systems using Nostr and open cryptographic infrastructure. Jeff works on White Noise, a decentralized encrypted messaging project designed to remove single points of failure from private communication. We explore how the internet was built without native money and how that mistake created a surveillance economy where users became the product. We break down why “nothing to hide” is a psychological trap, how self-sovereign digital identity works through public-private key pairs, and why portable social graphs threaten centralized platform control. We also cover the global push for digital ID and CBDCs, the structural weakness of centralized messengers like Signal, and why real freedom now depends on rebuilding parallel, permissionless systems instead of trying to fix broken institutions.► If you got value, please like, comment, share, follow and support my work.

My guest today is Joe Bryan, tech entrepreneur & former Goldman Sachs derivatives trader turned Bitcoin educator and creator of the viral film What's the Problem. After a decade building tech businesses, Joe set out to craft a story that explains why the world needs Bitcoin. His film, now translated into more than 40 languages, uses Pixar-style storytelling to reveal how the fiat system quietly steals from everyone and why separating money from the state is essential. We discuss the compounding creep of digital control, the rise of digital IDs and CBDCs, Bitcoin's evolution into “perfect money,” and Joe's mission to help the world see and resist the problem before it's too late.► If you got value, please like, comment, share, follow and support my work.

My guest today is Samuel Kullmann, a Member of Parliament from Switzerland's Canton Bern, entrepreneur, and one of Europe's first openly pro-Bitcoin politicians. His journey began in 2015 when the Swiss National Bank dropped its euro peg, pushing him to study money, move from gold to Bitcoin, and embrace hard-money principles. We discuss how Switzerland's decentralized system — shared executive power, binding referendums, and a constitutional “debt brake” — aligns with Bitcoin's ethos. Samuel details his opposition to Switzerland's new digital ID law, warning of normalization and future linkage with CBDCs. ► If you got value, please like, comment, share, follow and support my work.

We continue learning from Rebbe Nachman ben Faiga Simcha Likutei Moharan Torah 39 on bringing blessings of peace & abundance in our lives. Our focus, as always at the Shtiebel aka TheFamilyMinyan.com, is the mindset of Chizzuk; even when discussing the challenging issue of Brit Kodesh, we insert the confident Simchadik advice.Cover pic

In this interview with Viva Frei I talk about my path from freedom activism to Bitcoin. I was born in Israel in 1980 to a family of Holocaust survivors and builders of the early state. During COVID I watched Israel impose coercive measures like the Green Pass and saw a sign that said “Reserved for vaccinated only.” It reminded me of my grandfather's stories from pre-war Europe and pushed me to protest. That experience made me study freedom more deeply, especially in money. I learned how fiat, inflation and fractional-reserve banking rob people, then discovered Bitcoin as sound money with fixed supply and no central control. I explain how it differs from crypto and from CBDCs, and why self-custody is the foundation of sovereignty. For me Bitcoin is not just money, it is a stand for human freedom.► If you got value, please like, comment, share, follow and support my work.

Three Israeli women, their lives altered by immigration to the United States, seek to overcome crises. Ilana is a veteran Hebrew instructor at a Midwestern college who has built her life around her career. When a young Hebrew literature professor joins the faculty, she finds his post-Zionist politics pose a threat to her life's work. Miriam, whose son left Israel to make his fortune in Silicon Valley, pays an unwanted visit to meet her new grandson and discovers cracks in the family's perfect façade. Efrat, another Israeli in California, is determined to help her daughter navigate the challenges of middle school, and crosses forbidden lines when she follows her into the minefield of social media. In these three stirring novellas—comedies of manners with an ambitious blend of irony and sensitivity—celebrated Israeli author Maya Arad probes the demise of idealism and the generation gap that her heroines must confront.

My guest today is Nick Anthony, a policy analyst at the Cato Institute, a fellow at HRF, and one of the clearest voices dissecting CBDCs, financial privacy, and government overreach. He authored the book “digital currency or digital control?” and advocates for freedom and privacy. In this episode, we explore how governments use propaganda to sell CBDCs as “digital cash,” despite public resistance, and how pilots in China and The Bahamas reveal low adoption and rising coercion. Nick explains why control is a universal temptation across democracies and autocracies, and how the Bank Secrecy Act created 55 years of normalized financial monitoring in the United States. We discuss the distinction between stablecoins and CBDCs, the slow global rollout of digital currencies, and why Bitcoin's censorship resistance remains essential, alongside other freedom tech tools. He also shares insights from his work maintaining HRF's CBDC Tracker, his visit to the European Parliament, and his warning that even if CBDCs fail, today's financial system already operates as a surveillance regime.► If you got value, please like, comment, share, follow and support my work.

Dr. Efrat t Levy is a cybersecurity expert with a PhD in Computer Science and AI from Ben-Gurion University—one of Israel's top tech institutions. After years studying how to detect hackers through side-channel signals, she applied the same logic to trading. In this conversation, Dr. Levy explains how she uses machine learning to map non-repainting key levels that reveal the hidden order flow—the subtle timing and volume clues that expose the real intent of big players.

My guest today is Diana, she is the co-founder of Bitcoin House Bali and organizer of the Bitcoin Indonesia Conference. She left a corporate life in Germany in 2022, sold her belongings for Bitcoin, moved to Bali, and began rebuilding local Bitcoin adoption through practical education and community infrastructure. In this episode, we look at the realities in Indonesia: bank accounts closed after short inactivity, constant transaction monitoring, restrictions on moving money across islands, and limited financial agency for women. Bitcoin offers sovereignty in that environment. We discuss the role of women in integrating Bitcoin socially, the expansion to 38 meetups across Indonesia, and the aim of decentralizing leadership. We also cover lessons from running a national conference under bureaucratic pressure, and what it means to work in a place where censorship and instability are already visible. ► If you got value, please like, comment, share, follow and support my work.

My guest today is Alan Miller, co-founder of the Together Association, a nationwide civil-liberties movement ensuring the public—not technocrats—remain at the heart of politics. Alan's career spans four decades of creative and civic entrepreneurship: from pioneering acid-house parties and co-creating London's cultural hub The Old Truman Brewery, to co-founding the Night-Time Industries Association and leading the #OpenForAll campaign during lockdowns. In this conversation, we discuss UK's policy on free speech, protest rights, Digital ID, Net Zero, Low-Traffic Neighbourhoods, and more. We examine how COVID-era controls became a template for centralization, why free speech and privacy form the core of democratic accountability, and how technology can either entrench surveillance or empower autonomy through open protocols like Nostr and Bitcoin. Alan makes the case for an active citizenry, analog-digital parity of rights, and a future where liberty is defended not by elites, but by the public itself.► If you got value, please like, comment, share, follow and support my work.

My guest today is Richard Byworth, Managing Partner at Syz Capital, bridging traditional finance with Bitcoin. With over 25 years in global investment banking and asset management, Richard now spearheads Syz's $300m digital asset strategies and hosts the *Syz the Future* podcast. He's also a Board Member at Relai, and an advisor to JAN3. In this conversation, he unpacks the moment the 2008 crisis revealed the flaws in fiat money, his early dismissal of Bitcoin, and how conviction finally took hold in 2018. We discuss the launch of Syz's Bitcoin-denominated fund, the internal resistance it faced, and how it became the firm's most successful product launch. Richard explains why “one Bitcoin equals one Bitcoin” and why he believes Bitcoin treasury companies act as the release valve for a mispriced financial system. We explore his views on ego in finance, intuition in decision-making, spiritual dimensions of Bitcoin, and his conviction that Bitcoin represents not just an investment—but hope, and a benevolent force for human progress.► If you got value, please like, comment, share, follow and support my work.

My guest today is Knut Svanholm, author, educator, and philosopher focused on Bitcoin. Drawing on ethics, praxeology, and monetary history, Knut argues that sound money reduces conflict by aligning human action with natural law and voluntary exchange. In this episode, he explains why fiat banking already functions like a CBDC system in practice, why cash preserves privacy but not liberty, and why real freedom requires self custody and non-KYC Bitcoin. We explore his critique of custodial “paper Bitcoin,” the case for non-custodial adoption over treasury companies, and his view of Bitcoin as intellectual armor that raises the cost of violence. Knut outlines a practical path away from banks, explains why stablecoins can be a bridge yet remain fiat, and why a low-time-preference culture of quality over quantity matters.► If you got value, please like, comment, share, follow and support my work.

In this episode, Efrat sits down with Mike Peterson to hear the story of Bitcoin Beach from his perspective. Mike explains how a small surf town in El Salvador, El Zonte, became the birthplace of the first Bitcoin circular economy. What started with simple incentives for kids to stay in school and help their community grew into a model of financial inclusion that changed how families and businesses interact with money.Mike shares how Bitcoin adoption reshaped daily life during the COVID-19 crisis, when families depended on it for food and essentials. He describes how the local financial system evolved as people began saving for the first time, moving from a “live for today” mindset to understanding Bitcoin as digital gold. This shift brought new confidence, a sense of community empowerment, and real economic opportunities.The conversation highlights how Bitcoin Beach influenced tourism, attracted global investors, and inspired dozens of similar projects worldwide. Mike also reflects on El Salvador's unique position, its challenges with the IMF, and what it means for a country to pursue monetary independence. His story shows how grassroots adoption can spark broader change and why circular economies may be key to financial resilience in the future.-Bitcoin Beach TeamConnect and Learn more about Efrat Fenigson:X: https://x.com/efenigson YT: https://www.youtube.com/@EfratFenigson Support and follow Bitcoin Beach:X: @BitcoinBeachIG: @bitcoinbeach_svTikTok: @livefrombitcoinbeachWeb: bitcoinbeach.comBrowse through this quick guide to learn more about the episode: 00:00 How Bitcoin Beach began in El Zonte01:50 Life in El Salvador before Bitcoin adoption03:45 Why Bitcoin incentives mattered for local youth06:40 How COVID-19 accelerated Bitcoin use in the community08:28 The role of Bitcoin in helping businesses recover09:33 Building a new culture of saving through Bitcoin12:07 Bitcoin adoption beyond El Zonte13:26 The rise of Bitcoin tourism in El Salvador16:15 New circular Bitcoin economies around the world20:39 How the IMF views El Salvador's Bitcoin strategy23:49 Can the IMF pressure El Salvador to back down26:23 What freedom money means for everyday lifeLive From Bitcoin Beach

My guest today is Max Kei, former private banker and founder of Debifi, the world's largest non-custodial Bitcoin-backed lending platform for institutions. With over a decade in private banking and deep experience building peer-to-peer Bitcoin infrastructure at Hodl Hodl and launching the Baltic Honeybadger conference, Max has become a leading voice on how Bitcoin will reshape global finance. In this episode, he explains why banks will adapt to Bitcoin rather than be destroyed by it, how Switzerland is quietly becoming the prototype for Bitcoin-banking integration, and why non-custodial finance is essential to prevent the next FTX-style collapse. We explore the tradeoffs between custodial and non-custodial systems, the security advantages of three-of-four multisig for institutional loans, and why stablecoins act as both a lifeline in emerging markets and a gateway to a full Bitcoin standard. ► If you got value, please like, comment, share, follow and support my work.

My guest today is Allen Farrington, writer, investor, and co-founder of Axiom, a Bitcoin-focused venture capital firm backing companies that use Bitcoin as real infrastructure rather than speculation. Allen co-authored “Bitcoin is Venice” and “Only the Strong Survive” and draws on a background in math, philosophy, Austrian economics, and long-term equity investing to explain why Bitcoin is both a technological breakthrough and a venture opportunity hiding in plain sight. In this episode, he shares why he believes the most valuable startups will use Bitcoin as invisible plumbing for payments, energy, and financial services rather than marketing themselves as “Bitcoin companies.” We explore why current stablecoin systems break under real demand, how Lightning and Taproot Assets enable issuer competition and scalable payments, and why the long arc ends with e-cash and Bitcoin-native money. Allen frames Axiom's edge as “temporal arbitrage”: investing early where technical understanding and adoption are low, anticipating that in a decade the market will recognize the value created by Bitcoin-based infrastructure.► If you got value, please like, comment, share, follow and support my work.

My guest today is Max Hillebrand, praxeologist, cypherpunk, and open-source advocate dedicated to building freedom tech that empowers individuals through economic and technological sovereignty. As a contributor to projects like Bitcoin Core, Wasabi Wallet, BTCPay Server, JoinMarket, Lightning Network, Bisq, Angor, White Noise, and Amethyst. In this episode, Max shares his journey from Austrian economics into Bitcoin privacy, recounting how tools like CoinJoins, Wasabi, and the Taproot upgrade push Bitcoin closer to true anonymity. We explore the battle between fiat and freedom, the broken incentives of inflation and war, and why opting into Bitcoin is both a moral imperative and a form of resistance. Max also introduces Nostr as the communications layer for a censorship-resistant future, explains the axioms of human action, argumentation ethics, and resistance, and highlights why he believes we now have the technological weapons to end modern financial slavery in our lifetime.► If you got value, please like, comment, share, follow and support my work.

A sharp panel debates Bitcoin's “institutional phase”: BlackRock's ETF as catalyst, SEC policy shifts on in-kind redemptions, and the boom in corporate treasury strategies. They probe Coinbase custody concentration, nationalization risks, Tether's role, and why self-custody remains the antidote. AI's influence on education and CBDCs vs private stablecoins round out a high-signal hour. IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN: 00:00 - Intro 03:11 - Why BlackRock's spot ETF marked a cultural and capital tipping point.  05:31 - How SEC limits on in-kind redemptions and their reversal, shape market integrity.  08:56 - The difference between MicroStrategy's preferred stock model vs convertible debt.  10:14 - Why concentrated Coinbase custody introduces fragility and what decentralizes it.  12:10 - The political “nationalization” risk and how institutions could be rugged.  17:45 - The case for denominating liabilities in fiat while stacking BTC.  19:50 - Pitfalls of copycat treasury companies timing the market (e.g., short-dated debt).  25:53 - How AI-driven discourse (e.g., Grok) accelerates Bitcoin education.  29:10 - Why private stablecoins (e.g., Tether) may outcompete CBDCs globally.  37:37 - The timeless lesson: make Bitcoin “un-ruggable” via self-custody.

Yishai Fleisher joins Nachi Gordon for a powerful conversation that dives deep into the heart of Am Yisrael. Broadcasting from the diaspora, but with his soul in Israel, Yishai opens up about the war with Iran, his personal longing to return to the front lines, and the spiritual and political crossroads facing the Jewish people today.  From his work in Chevron and his role as a councilman in Efrat, to organizing international tours with figures like Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, Yishai shares the mission behind his advocacy for a stronger, prouder Jewish state. This episode explores the challenges and opportunities of Aliyah, the erosion of Israel's global narrative, the beauty and struggle of sovereignty, and why taking small steps—like buying an apartment or drinking Israeli wine—can anchor the Jewish future in Eretz Yisrael. It's a passionate, no-holds-barred discussion about Jewish identity, responsibility, and the road ahead.
