    He Who Has The Power Makes The Rules | Brandon Gentile

    The US dollar is the mark of the beast. What does it really mean to protect your family, your wealth, and your future? Brandon Gentile sat down with Adam O’Brien to get into why he believes it, what fiat actually means in Latin, and why whoever controls the money ends up controlling the rules everyone else has to live by. That last part is hard to ignore this week specifically, with the Senate just voting down the Clarity Act and Bitcoin taking the hit for it. Brandon's lived through worse weeks than this one and explains why he's not worried. From there it moves fast: homeschooling five kids outside a system Brandon calls Prussian by design, why he thinks Trump's actual job is exposer-in-chief, real estate as fiat's last stand, the six year clock he says is running out on the dollar, and why he thinks the builders outlast the takers no matter how this decade goes. #inflation #truthseekers #sovereignty #soundmoney #bitcoin You’ll Learn: 0:00:00 - The US Dollar Is The Mark Of The Beast 0:05:09 - This Is What Men Are Born To Do 0:12:14 - Who's Wealthier At The End Of Ten Years? 0:13:10 - You Rent Everything Against The Government And Time 0:19:56 - I'm Surprised More Bitcoiners Aren't Buying Real Estate 0:26:47 - The School System Is There To Create Serfs For The State 0:41:13 - Was Charlie Kirk Murdered In Cold Blood? 0:48:52 - Trump To Me Is Exposer And Chief 1:04:29 - You Have Six Years With Your Dollar 1:16:02 - Is Bitcoin Enough To Achieve What It's Promised? 1:38:16 It's Super Demonic Brandon Gentile | https://x.com/brandon_gentile Brandon Gentile is a former US National Team Development Program hockey player who played at Michigan State before building a 13-year career in real estate syndication.

    013: Why Canada Won't Exist by 2035 | Paul Keating

    Canada and the uncertainty surrounding its future, the idea of going where you’re treated best, network states, flag theory, and what it looks like to create more independence in an increasingly unstable world. In this episode, Paul Keating joins us for a wide-ranging conversation about freedom, family, community, health, faith, fatherhood, and the growing desire to step outside the conventional path. Paul shares how moving to Costa Rica changed the way he thinks about success, relationships, raising a family, how his Bitcoin journey led him straight to Jesus, and finding a place where you genuinely feel at home. We talk about life in the jungle, surfing, natural living, building strong communities, and why being surrounded by people who share your values may matter more than simply trying to “escape the system.” You’ll Learn: 0:00:00 "Canada won't survive the next ten years" 0:05:09 "Why your Bitcoin journey leads you to Jesus" 0:10:42 "Paul's health crisis and how Bitcoin found him" 0:20:33 "Meeting Paul Saladino and landing the job" 0:26:09 "Building a life in Costa Rica's Bitcoin Jungle" 0:34:34 "Escaping the system Vs.

    012: Modern Medicine Was Built on Lies (What Big Pharma Won't Tell You)

    They want you sick on purpose. The government doesn't want you well. It wants you dependent. In this episode, Adam O'Brien sits down with John and Nadja from Born To Be Free; a husband and wife who walked away from processed food, pharmaceuticals, and the default medical system to build a life rooted in faith, family, and self-reliance. They get into why big pharma profits when you're sick instead of healthy, why the birth control pill and modern obstetrics were built to make women feel powerless over their own bodies, how losing everything can still leave you rich if you have your faith and your family, and why "being hard to kill" might be the most important thing a man can teach his children. This is a conversation about sovereignty; over your body, your money, your time, and your soul. In a system built to take all four from you. You’ll Learn: 00:00 "They Want You Sick, on Purpose" 00:46 "This Has To Be The Worst Attack In Bitcoin History" 02:29 "I Have To Trust A Bridge I Can't Verify" 06:34 "Can I Learn FROM This, Not TO Me" 09:19 "The Most Devastating Mindset You Can Have" 13:35 "A Tree Went Through Her Windshield" 28:24 "Why The Government Wants You Sick" 42:23 "Giving Birth With No Doctor In The Room" 50:28 "I Delivered My Own Daughter" 1:13:45 "You're Not Crawling Toward God (He's Pulling You)" 1:26:30 "Are You A 'Lukewarm Christian'?"

    011: They Can Freeze Your Bank Account with George Bodine

    George Bodine has lived enough lives for five men: a cop, a miner, a fighter pilot, a father of five, and he's not done. In this episode, George and Adam get into what it actually takes to build a life on hard work and conviction when almost everything around you is designed to make that harder: a jobs market quietly being hollowed out by AI, a government that's lied to your face and called you crazy for noticing, inflation eating your savings faster than you can earn it back, and a financial system that can freeze what's yours with one phone call. George doesn't theorize about any of this, he's lived through the moments that taught him to trust himself over the system, and he explains exactly why that matters more now than it ever has. This is a conversation about family, faith, and the discipline it takes to stay sovereign in a world that keeps asking you not to. #truthseekers #inflation #sovereignty #soundmoney #aijobloss You’ll Learn: 00:00 – Intro 09:36 – "We Created Zero New Jobs In 12 Months" 14:31 – "They're Too Scared To Release This AI" 17:04 – "Iran Is Charging A Toll On The World's Oil" 21:32 – "We Are In The Crisis Stage Of History" 26:42 – "The One Thing You Can Actually Own" 29:40 – "The Dollar Won't Die, It'll Just Get Weaker" 36:04 – "You Can't Print Cows" 42:08 – "Everything You Own, Owns A Piece Of You" 48:30 – "The Government Could Freeze It Tomorrow" 1:12:53 – "I Should Be Dead" — Why I Have A Gold Tooth George Bodine | https://x.com/Jethroe111 | https://georgebodineart.com/ George Bodine is a former Navy F-18 fighter pilot, retired airline captain, and the voice behind Maverick Money.

    010: The Most Educated Generation In History Knows Nothing | Matt Hill

    The most educated generation in history doesn't know anything, and Matt Hill from Start9 says that's not an accident, it's the point. School was never built to make you smart, it was built to make you obedient, and he's got the receipts, from his own kids' education to the moment he realized his Ivy League professors sounded exactly like the guy who wrote Mein Kampf. This conversation goes places most interviews won't. Why curiosity gets beaten out of kids on purpose. What it actually looks like to raise three kids with zero lessons and zero homework. And the night everything he believed got tested for real, standing on an IDF base while a bus thirty feet in front of him got bombed. If you've ever wondered why the smartest generation in history feels the dumbest, this is the episode that explains why. You’ll Learn: 00:00:00 They don't know anything 00:10:23 Built to break kids 00:14:53 What unschooling really means 00:24:07 The payday system 00:29:37 Trained for nothing 00:38:02 Educated and empty 00:41:57 Full ride to the Ivy League 00:45:16 Becoming an extremist 01:02:07 The book that changed everything 01:06:42 One-way ticket to Israel 01:29:53 The bus explodes 01:40:19 Building the anti-Google internet Matt Hill | https://x.com/_MattHill_ | https://x.com/start9labs | https://start9.com/ Matt Hill is the CEO and co-founder of Start9, where he coined and helped popularize the term "sovereign computing," the idea that you should own and control the server your data lives on instead of renting your digital life from Google, Amazon, and Big Tech. Before Start9 he was the CTO of Salt Lending, one of the earliest Bitcoin-backed lending platforms. He's a self-taught developer, an unschooling dad of three, and a former registered Democrat turned libertarian. --- Find more from Adam O’Brien: Adam O’Brien | YouTube Adam O’Brien | X Adam O’Brien | Instagram Adam O’Brien | Spotify 🔔 Stay connected with Adam’s latest insights by following along on all social platforms.

    09: Why Bitcoiners Find Christ | Jimmy Song

    What is the connection between Bitcoin and Christianity? There's a pattern in Bitcoin nobody talks about: skeptical, first-principles thinkers keep walking themselves into Christianity, often after years of study. Jimmy is one of Bitcoin's most respected technical voices, an early developer, author of Programming Bitcoin, and co-author of Thank God for Bitcoin, which puts him in a rare position to explain why this keeps happening. I wanted his honest take on it. Not the surface-level orange-pill version, the deeper one. His answer starts with what he calls little-t truth pills. You learn that the monetary system lied to you. Then you start questioning the food, the medicine, the experts, and the education system. Eventually, you run out of small lies to expose, and you hit the big one. We also get into Rene Girard's scapegoat mechanism and how it explains losing VP candidates, the difference between judges and kings in Scripture, why debt sits uneasily with a sound-money worldview, and the one barrier Jimmy thinks stops most Bitcoiners from going the full distance. You’ll Learn: [0:00] Introduction [3:48] Begging his dad for a Commodore 16, then learning BASIC from a pregnant tutor [14:27] Writing two-hour emails in college quietly made him a better thinker [23:53] 2008 and Ron Paul's End the Fed turned a coder into a libertarian [26:43] The five-person email list that became his first Bitcoin community [33:38] Nobody predicting AI's future actually has a clue what it will become [40:11] The COVID Bible study that became Thank God for Bitcoin [48:56] Bitcoiners keep converting to Christianity through slow, methodical study [1:03:44] Judges over Kings, and what Israel lost by demanding a ruler [1:07:19] René Girard, mimetic rivalry, and why kings function as sacrificial scapegoats [1:13:08] The pattern of losing VP candidates as modern-day scapegoats [1:20:03] Coming to terms with sin is the real barrier for Bitcoiners meeting Christ  Resources Mentioned: End the Fed by Ron Paul | Book or Audiobook The Bitcoin Standard by Saifedean Ammous, et al. | Book or Audiobook The Ethics of Money Production by Jörg Guido Hülsmann | Book Honest Money by Gary North | Book or Audiobook Find more from Jimmy: Jimmy Song | X | Website | LinkedIn Programming Bitcoin | Book Thank God for Bitcoin | Book The Little Bitcoin Book | Book Bitcoin and the American Dream | Book Fiat Ruins Everything | Book Find more from Adam O’Brien: Adam O’Brien | X Adam O’Brien | Instagram Adam O’Brien | Spotify

    08: The Sovereign Strategies We All Need: Bitcoin, Flag Theory & Second Passport | Katie CitizenX

    Katie was denied visa after visa as a national team athlete, while her teammates walked through. That rejection built Plan B Passport. Most people think a second passport is a luxury. Katie the Russian, founder of Plan B Passport and now CMO at CitizenX, treats it like a Bitcoin custody plan for your identity. Her work helping Bitcoiners and high net worth individuals build out flag theory comes from lived experience. She grew up in post-Soviet Russia, lived through two hyperinflations before 20, and was repeatedly denied visas as a national team athlete. That's what made her the passport chick. Her framework is simple: figure out the attack vectors, then stack flags accordingly. Bitcoiners already do this with seed phrases and inheritance. Borders are the next layer. The conversation goes deeper than I expected. Her predictions on the fall of the EU, the fourth turning we're inside right now, and why El Salvador may be the first country out of crisis are worth sitting with. Her view on marriage, raising three kids including one with cerebral palsy, and the overlap between the Bitcoin journey and the Jesus journey changed how I'm thinking about a few things. You’ll Learn: [0:00] Introduction [5:10] How Russian sanctions work for employees hired through third-party providers [20:29] Why Katie walked into a Sunday school at twelve, in an atheist country [29:32] Why Orthodox Christianity feels like suffering and Presbyterian feels like Disneyland [44:55] El Salvador might be the first country out of the fourth turning [52:34] The flag theory security model, and when you need a passport versus residency [1:00:35] How selling glow bracelets at nine years old funded a sailing career that almost reached the Olympics  [1:11:02] Why the 100k São Tomé passport is the play for Canadians and Americans [1:22:31] How motherhood forced her to make peace with the system she rejected Find more from Katie: Katie the Russian | X Plan B Passport | Website CitizenX | Website Find more from Adam O’Brien: Adam O’Brien | X Adam O’Brien | Instagram Adam O’Brien | Spotify Stay connected with Adam’s latest insights by following along on all social platforms.

    07: The Future of Bitcoin, Fiat Currency & Schooling with Daniel Prince

    Are we ruining Bitcoin by centralizing it? In this episode, I chat with Daniel Prince, a British Bitcoin podcaster, author, and digital nomad known for sharing how Bitcoin reshapes real lives. We get into how homeschooling, unschooling, and world schooling challenge the traditional education system, and why lived experience often teaches more than any textbook. We also get into spirituality and the Bible, including how you can actually trust it and why that matters when you start questioning bigger systems. I reflect on how following incentives changes how you see everything from Bitcoin and financial systems, to health conversations around vitamin B3 niacin and natural light. Daniel shares how stepping away from conventional paths led him to rethink parenting, learning, and what freedom actually looks like for a family. This conversation hit close to home as I navigate homeschool vs public school, screen time, and raising kids who can think for themselves. You’ll Learn: [00:00] Introduction [03:06] Who actually owns the science, and what they do with it [10:38] Why Daniel walked away from a 15-year forex career to travel the world with his kids [40:50] The 1902 secret meeting that built every system you grew up inside [49:57] Why Bitcoin, of all things, led Daniel straight to Jesus [59:00] What ancient tablets, a dying prophecy, and a NASA eclipse confirm about the Bible [01:13:34] Fallen angels, the Nephilim, and what the Bible says caused the flood [01:27:41] How Macron's homeschool crackdown exposed the indoctrination hiding in plain sight [01:30:29] The word no one wants to say and the paper trail that proves they should [01:40:00] The slow-motion capture of Bitcoin most people refuse to see [01:48:38] How Bitcoiners are building community offline and why the code war still matters Resources Mentioned: The 4-Hour Work Week by Timothy Ferriss | Book or Audiobook Niacin: The Real Story by Andrew W.
