    nrc31 | Bitcoin and Freedom Tech in Iran with Ziya Sadr & Frank Corva

    In this powerful reboot of the new renaissance capital show, we are joined by Ziya Sadr, a prominent Iranian Bitcoin and Freedom Tech educator who shares his harrowing first-hand account of the 2022 protests. Ziya discusses his time in detainment, the industrial-scale violence used by the regime, and why millions of Iranians are now at a breaking point due to decades of economic mismanagement and currency collapse. We dive deep into how technology like Bitcoin, Starlink, and Samourai Wallet are serving as vital lifelines for people living under extreme censorship. Ziya explains why privacy isn't just a preference but a survival mechanism in Iran, and he offers a direct call to action for the international community to support those fighting for their lives on the ground.

    Flo Montoya works with Love Is Bitcoin and Panties for Bitcoin, but it took her a minute to find her place(s) in the Bitcoin industry.

We discuss this, how Flo's family members were actually the ones who taught her about Bitcoin and other topics in the interview.

    nrc28 | Can the Próspera + Bitcoin model save Honduras? Zussel Abigail Ramos thinks so.

    Zussel is a resident of Próspera — a start-up city located in Honduras — who lives on a bitcoin standard and teaches Bitcoin through Amity Age — the oldest Bitcoin education program in Central America. And based on my conversation with Zussel, her life seems pretty good! So, can this city in which taxes are low and personal freedoms are high combined with bitcoin being legal tender become a model for the rest of Honduras? This is the big question, and Zussel's answer is "yes." Check out the interview and leave a comment if you think Zussel is onto something.

    nrc27 | The importance of free and open societies with Jorge Jraissati

    Some of us take for granted the fact that we can speak freely, transact with who we please and pursue our dreams. Others — like Jorge Jraissati, who had to flee his home country of Venezuela for fear of persecution — understand very well that certain freedoms are not a given and that we must fight to establish and preserve them. And this is what he does as Director of Alumni for Liberty, a branch of Students for Liberty, which promotes the ideals of Classical Liberalism around the globe. Through both Alumni for Liberty and his work as a researcher, lecturer and writer, Jorge works to spread the message of free minds and free markets. His recent efforts include educating government officials, policymakers and international regulators of how important Bitcoin is to activists around the world. We discuss this and much more in the interview. Enjoy!

    nrc26 | Teaching Bitcoin from the heart with Dea Rezkitha

    After years of teaching people about Bitcoin, organizing the Indonesia Bitcoin conference, and working for a Bitcoin company (Fedi), she's learned that you have to speak from your heart when you explain Bitcoin to people if you want them to grasp it. In our interview, we discuss this in greater detail as well as the macroeconomic situation in Indonesia and how even the Indonesian crypto "gamblers" are starting to look at bitcoin as something different than all other crypto assets.

    nrc24 | Lessons from Lebanon with Sooly Kobayashi

    "We're all Lebanese. Most just don't know it yet." This is how Jan 3 founder Samson Mow responded to a tweet thread on the economic situation in Lebanon from Sooly Kobayashi — a consultant, entrepreneur and investor in the Bitcoin space. What Mow was insinuating was that the fiat system is going to catch up with all of us eventually — that we'll all see our lives financially upended, just as the Lebanese currently are, because of excess money printing and poor fiscal policy. Luckily for Lebanon, they have citizens like Sooly who are investing in the Bitcoin ecosystem so to make it more accessible to the Lebanese and to many in the Global South who will benefit from access to it. In our interview, we discuss the macroeconomic situation in Lebanon, what Bitcoin adoption there looks like and why Bitcoin is Sooly's ikigai. Enjoy!
