Anastasia Canonica was born in post-Soviet Russia in 1991, the year the USSR collapsed and the monetary system reset overnight, erasing everyone's savings. She was placed in an orphanage at age 4 after her parents turned to alcohol amid the poverty crisis, spending ages 4-16 in Orphanage Number 5 in Novokuznetsk, Siberia. After her father's death when she was 11, she became consumed with anger and resentment, developing a physical growth on her body. At 13, she experienced a miracle healing through Louise Hay's book "Heal Your Body," learning to release resentment and forgive. After a two-year adoption process, Anastasia came to America at 16, right as the 2008 financial crisis hit. Ana shares her awakening journey and Bitcoin adoption, seeing it as a source of hope that the parallel centralized dystopian world doesn't have to be the only option.→ Please like, comment, share & follow — to help me beat the suppressing algo's.

Simon Dixon is a geopolitical analyst, Bitcoin OG, and entrepreneur, formerly an investment banker. In this conversation, Simon does a deep dive into the real architecture of power shaping our world, unpacking how financial, military, and technological power structures intersect, and why incentives drive global decisions. From his early days in traditional finance to his journey into Bitcoin, Simon shares what he learned about how money is created, how influence is exercised, how power compromises, and why many leaders operate within larger systems they don't fully control. We explore the difference between reforming the system and exiting it, the role of sovereignty, sovereign wealth and debt, how media and markets shape narratives, and why Simon sees Bitcoin and self-custody as tools for individual sovereignty. This is a wide-ranging discussion about power, truth, responsibility, and the practical paths toward greater independence in a highly controlled, corrupted world.→ Please like, comment, share & follow — to help me beat the suppressing algo's.

Senator Alex Antic is a member of the Liberal Party representing South Australia in the federal parliament since 2019. In this wide-ranging conversation, he opens up about how COVID-19 became his political awakening, admitting he was "far too cavalier" in trusting government and bureaucracy before the pandemic revealed how easily institutional power can be weaponized against citizens. Senator Antic was the only senator to vote against Australia's recent hate speech legislation, walked away from party pressure, and currently fights to repeal "no jab no pay" laws that withhold government benefits from families who don't comply with childhood immunization schedules. We examine the broader pattern: an alarming expansion of state control over just 18 months including hate speech laws, hate crime laws, firearms restrictions, digital ID frameworks, and the under 16 social media ban, all targeting free speech & other human rights. Senator Antic shares why Australia is no longer sovereign.→ Please like, comment, share & follow — to help me beat the suppressing algo's.

Dr. Mary Tally Bowden is a board-certified ENT physician and emergency medicine specialist based in Houston, Texas, who treated over 6,000 COVID-19 patients in direct care while openly challenging centralized medical authority and censorship in healthcare. In November 2021, Houston Methodist Hospital, the first hospital in the country to mandate COVID vaccines, suspended her clinical privileges for allegedly spreading misinformation. Bowden resigned and sued the FDA for their public campaign against ivermectin, winning a landmark case that forced the agency to remove misleading social media posts. She operates a medical practice independent of hospitals, insurance companies, and government contracts, allowing her to treat patients according to clinical judgment rather than institutional mandates. Dr. Bowden continues to fight her Texas Medical Board reprimand while leading efforts to expose hospitals that failed to report vaccine injuries to VAERS as legally required, potentially exposing billions in fraud. → Please like, comment, share & follow — to help me beat the suppressing algo's.

Since 2020, Monika has focused on her public art, trauma & consciousness studies, human design, Austrian economics, somatic practice, and astrology, integrating them into a unique philosophy centered on liberty, value, and self-awareness.This profound conversation explores Monika's transformation from a fragmented artist conforming to the system to a sovereign individual who found wholeness through Bitcoin. We dive into her childhood rebellion against religious conformity, her journey through public art and breaking free from galleries, the moment her artist friends called her a "traitor", and how she integrated the various areas into a unified practice.→ Please like, comment, share & follow — to help me beat the suppressing algo's.

Agustin Kassis is a Bitcoin developer, entrepreneur, and founder of La Crypta in Buenos Aires, Argentina. As a self-taught programmer since age 11 and serial entrepreneur with seven startups, Agustin discovered Bitcoin in its first years. This conversation explores Argentina's unique position as a potential Bitcoin adoption leader, shaped by decades of currency destruction, hyperinflation, and distrust of government institutions.We dive deep into the grassroots Bitcoin movement in Argentina, the role of La Crypta as an education and community hub, and how Argentinians' natural rebellion against monetary systems creates fertile ground for Bitcoin adoption. Agustin discusses the challenges of onboarding merchants and individuals, the competition with the crypto industry (including stablecoins), and the importance of maintaining Bitcoin's decentralized nature against capture. We also explore President Milei's impact on Argentina, the cultural shift happening in the country, and why he believes ideology and values matter more than technical knowledge & NGU when identifying true Bitcoiners.→ Please like, comment, share & follow — to help me beat the suppressing algo's.

For decades, Venezuela has been ravaged by socialism and the rule of strongmen like Hugo Chávez and Nicolás Maduro. It is a country that has watched its most capable citizens flee for more than a decade. But after the shocking capture and arrest of Nicolás Maduro, as you can imagine, I've been getting questions left and right from the Expat Money community about the situation in Venezuela.  In today's episode, my co-host Marc Clair and I break down what this arrest means for international law and geopolitical power, what it may mean inside Venezuela, and why this is not a classic “regime change” story. We also speculate on the real motives behind the move, who may be pulling strings, and where this could go next. IN TODAY'S EPISODE Listen in as Marc and I discuss what Maduro's arrest means for international law and geopolitical power politicsLearn why this is not a traditional regime change and what that means for Venezuela internallyHear our take on how this fits into Trump's renewed focus on Latin America and the Monroe DoctrineFind out what we think the real motives are, who the key players may be, and what comes next STAY IN TOUCH!

Jeff Booth is a General Partner at Ego Death Capital and the author of The Price of Tomorrow,  known for his profound insights at the intersection of technology, economics, and human consciousness. This conversation explains how the existing monetary (fiat) system relies on debt, fear, and illusion to survive, and why it's now unraveling under its own weight. Jeff explains why Michael Saylor's current position is very different than his initial one, and why it isn't sustainable. We dive deep into the different types of control vectors governing our life, from money to politics to physics, and explore how consciousness shifts and Bitcoin challenges these structures at a fundamental level. Jeff talks about decentralization, the role of fear and agency, and why the free market has never truly existed — until now.  We also touch on spirituality, the deeper meaning of sovereignty, and the transformative potential of Bitcoin not as an asset, but as a protocol for freedom.→ Please like, comment, share & follow — to help me beat the suppressing algo's.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Mikkel has spent more than 25 years traveling to 120 countries, living in 9 of them, and building a thriving international consulting firm that helps high-net-worth clients reduce taxes, secure second residencies, and build global investment portfolios. He breaks down the truth behind the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion, why residency matters more than people think, how offshore banking protects you from government freezes, and what countries offer the most favorable territorial tax systems. Mikkel also shares his personal story of overcoming dyslexia, dropping out of school, and designing a life and business that spans the globe.  This conversation gives you the facts that most professionals never learn.

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.

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.

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.

We all grow up being told to “follow the system.” Go to school. Get a job. Obey the rules. But what if the system itself is broken and designed to constrain you?

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.

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.

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.

“Life is not about the money in your bank account. Life is for living, and your investments, your insurance, all those things should be about allowing you to live the life you want.” – Robin CopleyIt wasn't easy to share, but I opened up about my own financial mistakes in Vietnam—losing tens of thousands of dollars because I trusted the wrong person. Robin Copley, my financial planner now, joined me to unpack what went wrong, what red flags I should have seen, and what every expat needs to know about money here.I walked away from this conversation feeling relieved, but also more aware. Relieved because I know I'm back on track with someone I can trust. Aware because Vietnam really is a financial superpower if you manage things properly—but also a financial nightmare if you don't.5 Key Talking PointsWhy living in Vietnam can be a “financial superpower” if you manage money wisely.The biggest financial mistakes expats make—and how to avoid them.Hidden commissions and fees in products sold to expats.The importance of fiduciary responsibility and transparency in financial advice.Why money is only a tool—the real goal is the life you want to live.Chapters & Timestamps[00:00] Why Vietnam is a financial superpower – The balance between cost of living and income potential.[00:02] My financial horror story – Losing tens of thousands through bad advice.[00:09] Red flags and hidden commissions – Robin explains how expats are often misled.[00:23] Investments as tools, not goals – Shifting the focus from money to lifestyle.[00:27] Practical advice for expats – Motorbike licenses, medical insurance, and saving strategies.[00:38] Life beyond money – Robin's philosophy on living fully while planning responsibly."Send me a message!"This Season is sponsored by Premier Dental.Discover the potential of a confident and healthy smile with the excellent dental clinic in Ho Chi Minh Support the show

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.

My guest today is Alena Vránová, entrepreneur, author, and builder of freedom tech who has spent over a decade pioneering tools that defend both digital and physical sovereignty. She co-founded SatoshiLabs (Trezor's mother company), which launched  the world's first commercially available hardware wallet, joined the Casa Node team to make running Bitcoin and Lightning easy, and co-authored The Little Bitcoin Book, a global bestseller introducing why Bitcoin matters for freedom and finance.

In this episode, Alena shares her journey from legacy finance into Bitcoin, recounting how she helped establish an entirely new market for hardware wallets. We discuss the ongoing attempts to co-opt Bitcoin through regulation and confiscation, the dangers of KYC and data leaks, and why physical security is the next frontier for Bitcoiners worldwide. Alena also reflects on the role of women in Bitcoin, the growth of a truly global community, and why she believes building tools for self-defense—digital and physical—is essential for human freedom► If you got value, please like, comment, share, follow and support my work.

My guest today is Francis Pouliot, long-time Bitcoin advocate, cypherpunk entrepreneur, and CEO of Bull Bitcoin, Canada's leading Bitcoin-only exchange. Known for his uncompromising stance on self-custody, privacy, and resistance to state overreach, Francis has been a vocal defender of Bitcoin's founding ethos for over a decade. He is also a key figure in Bitcoin Jungle, a circular economy in Costa Rica where hundreds of merchants transact daily in Bitcoin. In this episode, Francis shares how his background in Austrian economics and libertarian politics, combined with the wake-up call of COVID, led him to relocate from Canada to Costa Rica. We explore the creation and growth of Bitcoin Jungle, why farmers markets are fertile ground for adoption, and how his “scale versus compromise” framework guides strategic decisions in building Bitcoin infrastructure. Francis opens up about the tension of running a regulated exchange while opposing KYC, his mission to make self-custody as seamless as custodial services, and why Bitcoin's payments layer is as critical as its store-of-value function. He dismantles the “Bitcoin is hijacked” myth spread by Roger Ver & others, addresses skepticism from the red-pilled community, and explains why barter and cash cannot scale for true financial freedom. → If you got value, please like, comment, share, follow and support my work.
