    The Bitcoin Hero’s Journey - Terence Michael | Ep. 142

    Terence Michael is a Hollywood TV producer, storyteller, and Bitcoin educator known for his cinematic, analogy-driven videos,  and he co-hosts the daily show on X - "Bitcoin Today". When Covid shuttered his Airbnb properties and production work, Terence pivoted decisively into Bitcoin, eventually selling around twenty properties to go all-in. That journey gave him the material for his book Proof of Money, which argues that humanity has never actually had real money until now. We walk through his Vegas 2026 keynote "The Bitcoin Hero's Journey," the Hollywood storytelling framework he uses to map Bitcoiner's transformation, and why he believes Bitcoin is not a hedge or an alternative but an upgrade to everything. → Please like, comment, share & follow — to help me beat the suppressing algo's.

    Venezuela, Debt & the Case for Bitcoin Loans - Mauricio Di Bartolomeo | Ep. 141

    Mauricio Di Bartolomeo is the Co-founder of Ledn, the leader in Bitcoin-backed lending. He grew up in Venezuela, living through the early tremors of what would become one of the most dramatic monetary collapses in modern history, before coming to Canada in 2003. His front-row seat to hyperinflation under Chavez and Maduro shaped a deeply practical understanding of how money, debt, and institutional trust actually function, and gave him the conviction to build Ledn, which has issued over $10 billion in loans since 2018 and holds an estimated 30% market share in consumer Bitcoin-backed lending globally. We cover what hyperinflation actually feels like from the inside, why the wealthy borrow while everyone else is told to save, the philosophical debate over whether Bitcoin-backed debt is morally sound, and what the recent seismic shifts in Venezuela's political landscape mean for an oppressed country.  → Please like, comment, share & follow — to help me beat the suppressing algo's.

    Paul Keating is building freedom tech with Primal, a Nostr client that puts digital sovereignty back in users' hands. Based in Costa Rica, Paul lives entirely on a Bitcoin standard as part of Bitcoin Jungle, one of the most vibrant circular Bitcoin economies in the world. A surfer, new father, and tireless advocate for freedom-first technology, Paul joined me at Bitcoin 2026 in Las Vegas for a conversation that has been a long time coming. We covered what a truly sovereign life looks like day to day, how Bitcoin and Nostr function as nature's response to broken money and broken social media, the open protocol future Primal is building toward, and the upcoming Bitcoin Jungle documentary - Hummingbird. → Please like, comment, share & follow — to help me beat the suppressing algo's.

    Betrayed: John McAfee’s Death, the Cover-Up & Mission - Janice McAfee | Ep. 139

    Janice McAfee, the widow of tech and privacy legend John McAfee, opens up about what really happened around his mysterious death. Together they spent nine years navigating an extraordinary life at the intersection of freedom, surveillance, and survival, and traveled through the Bahamas, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, and Spain as U.S. authorities pressed for extradition on tax and SEC-related charges. When John was detained in Spain in October 2020 on an Interpol red notice, Janice remained in the country throughout his nine months of imprisonment. She learned of his death in June 2021 through a Twitter DM, before any official message. Three years of legal battles followed before she received his body, and the questions surrounding his death never left her. Now channeling John's mission through the AIntivirus Project for privacy tools, she  explains why carrying on this fight is the only way to honor what he stood for. → Please like, comment, share & follow — to help me beat the suppressing algo's.

    12 Years, One Pardon, and a Fight That's Not Over - Lyn Ulbricht | Ep. 138

    Lyn Ulbricht is Ross Ulbricht’s mother. Ross was the founder of Silk Road, who received a double life sentence plus 40 years without parole before being granted an unconditional pardon by President Trump after nearly 12 years of incarceration. Rather than stepping back after that hard-won victory, Lyn channeled her experience, platform, and network into founding MACS (Mothers Against Cruel Sentencing), a nonprofit dedicated to exposing the reality of excessive sentencing inside the U.S. justice system. At the Bitcoin Vegas Conference 2026, she joined me to share what it was like when Trump personally called to announce the pardon, how Ross is adjusting to life on the outside, why she sees Bitcoin colleagues still behind bars as prisoner of war  from a war declared over, and why the fight for justice is far from finished. → Please like, comment, share & follow — to help me beat the suppressing algo's.

    Hakeem Anwar is a software engineer with over 20 years in tech, and the founder and CEO of Above Phone, a conscious technology company building open source phones, laptops, and software services that free people from reliance on Big Tech. After years of building web and mobile apps for large corporations, he walked away from corporate life during Covid. He also runs Take Back Our Tech, a weekly show covering the biggest stories in tech - always with solutions. Hakeem has done extensive research into the global digital ID rollout, co-authoring the "Life Under Digital ID" report, which maps how 90% of countries already have operational digital ID or will within three years. In this conversation, we discuss global standards enabling biometric interoperability across borders, why "voluntary" always becomes mandatory, and Hakeem demonstrates the Above Phone on screen, making the case for why the window to migrate to open protocols is closing faster than most people realize. → Please like, comment, share & follow — to help me beat the suppressing algo's.

    You Can’t Run Forever: Building Bitcoin Sovereignty from Inside the EU - Matyas Kuchar | Ep. 135

    Matyas Kuchar is a Czech Bitcoin OG and co-founder of BTC Prague, Europe's largest Bitcoin-only conference. Born into a country shaped by communist-era currency controls and a deep-rooted distrust of central authority, Matyas sits at the intersection of Bitcoin, monetary sovereignty, and the fast-shifting political landscape of the European Union. He helped spearhead a landmark Bitcoin-friendly legislation package that passed unanimously through the Czech parliament, eliminating capital gains tax on long-held Bitcoin and securing banking rights for crypto companies. In this conversation, he breaks down why the Czech Republic may be the El Salvador of Europe, and why the fight for financial and digital privacy is now a hill worth dying on. * Note to clarify what Matyas meant about MiCA regulation: While MiCA does not directly regulate merchants, its travel rule requirements effectively forced third-party Bitcoin payment processors — e.g. Confirmo & Qerko — to treat fiat conversion as a financial service, requiring them to KYC every customer. Since they aren’t complying, these processors stopped supporting merchant Bitcoin payments, and since most merchants relied on them rather than managing self-custody, they stop accepting Bitcoin altogether.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ → Please like, comment, share & follow — to help me beat the suppressing algo's.
