    Her Grandmother Inspired a Bitcoin Jewelry Brand

    Jay's grandmother was always dressed, her jewels, her furs, her presence. That's the real origin story behind BitBabe, the Bitcoin jewelry brand Jay built after searching for a Bitcoin necklace she actually liked and couldn't find one. In this full-length interview, Jay and I talk about how she got into Bitcoin (it started with a guy who wouldn't stop watching Michael Saylor videos), how jewelry became a quiet way to start Bitcoin conversations with strangers, and how becoming a mom redefined what luxury actually means to both of us, sleep, time, real food, and a garden instead of a grocery store. 🎉 The bounty has been tripled to 63,000 sats.

    Why There's No Profit in Keeping You Healthy | Dr. Ammous MD

    Why isn’t the medical system telling us how to eat, what sunlight to get, or how to avoid damage from artificial lights? Because there’s no profit there.
